Giving birth is one of the greatest virtues of life. If you’re here because you’re expecting and want to keep your health up then, first of all CONGRATUALTIONSS and you’ve come to the right place! We are going to talk in brief about the type of asanas you can and must do to keep yourself up and running and help with other things.

During pregnancy your body goes through a ton of changes and you’re bound to face a lot of problems if you aren’t facing them already. Some of the most common health problems include heartburn and indigestion, skin irritation, constipation and haemorrhoids. Yoga helps you paddle through most of them but there will come a time when you’ll thank yourself for having your gynaecologist on speed dial even if it’s a false alarm. Nevertheless, there are a few asanas you can do depending on your stage of pregnancy.

1.      Veerbhadrasana – On the surface it’s a great exercise to tone the limbs and get a really focused stretch on each side but a hidden benefit to this pose is increased stamina. Do you find yourself lacking the strength to get through the day.

2.      Yoga Nidra – One of the easiest ways to relax and calm your nerves is Yoga Nidra. Much like meditation, Yoga Nidra requires you to relax and let your mind slip into a sleep-like state by triggering the relaxation response in your body. In other words, laying down and practising mindful breathing will help your build tolerance over the hormonal reactions and keep your mind and body distracted.

3.      Majraiasana – Commonly known as the cat-cow pose this asanas helps relieve back pain by strengthening the spine and making it more flexible. Its imitates a motion that of waves and so naturally works to increase blood circulation, keeping your foetus healthy and your abdominal region strong, both inside and out.

Pregnancy can be daunting especially for a first timer. If you’re looking to get help and guidance on the right yoga practises during pregnancy head over to YourBuddhi.com for a guided prenatal yoga class or to have a word with our experts.

Let’s face it, there are a 100 ways to “boost your immunity” with enhanced medication and medical techniques these days; something that was unheard of say 100 to 150 years ago. But were people not fit back then? Some of the greatest warriors, kings and emperors of history lived more than 200 years ago. They had the physical prowess of the Gods and their soldiers were strong enough to battle gazelles!! What made them so strong? What caused us to decelerate in terms of physical fitness? The answer is simple – we got complacent. We started taking things for granted, especially our health, succumbing to the pleasure of modern man. When things go south, we resort to a quick fix which doesn’t fix the problem but rather sweeps it under the rug and our health issues keep piling up till the rug can’t hold no more. There is a way to fix it, but it’s going to take time and dedication on your part to revert all the damage you’ve put your body through till now. In order to restore your immunity...

Physical exercises have shown to boost testosterone, serotonin and dopamine in participants and they have all vouched to having experienced an increased boost in their moods.
