Guidelines for Safe Prenatal Yoga

 

Working out during pregnancy has got to be one of the most difficult things ever! Heck being pregnant is one of life’s hardest challenges in itself. Taking care of your health during pregnancy is so important, it cannot be stressed enough. But what guidelines are you supposed to abide by when trying out prenatal yoga at home, or at some yoga class?

There are a few things to keep in mind in order to make sure you don’t overexert yourself which can be difficult for you and the baby. Stick to these few basic guidelines to care for your and your baby’s health:

1. Refer to your Doctor – Before embarking on any sort of prenatal exercise regimen, talk to your gynaecologist or a physician, preferably the former, about the status of your health and what extent you can go to in terms of pushing your during your workouts. Remember, the advice of a professional comes from years of experience and study so make sure to abide by it.

2. Know your Body – It is easy to get swayed away when you’re in a class, trying to keep up with the rest of them but it is important to know your body and set your workout goals accordingly. For most women, a light 30 minute aerobics workout 3 to 4 times a week is enough and there’s no need to go above and beyond. If required you can tone it down so make sure you don’t overdo it and play it by ear.

3. Be Steady – If you catch yourself running out of breath and pushing yourself harder than you need to, slow down before you start seeing any more signs of fatigue. If you’re doing yoga, avoid doing certain asanas that might do more harm than good and stop if you need to for the day or something that isn’t as demanding on your body. Use props as and when you need to, to balance your weight better since your center of gravity can shift due to pregnancy.



If you experience any discomforts or see any bleeding or contractions taking place, stop immediately and speak to your doctor as soon as possible.
