Yoga for Pregnancy

Yoga can be very beneficial during pregnancy; it aids breathing and relaxation, which in turn can help women adjust to the physical demands of labour and motherhood.
Smooth pregnancy and a natural childbirth are just some of the positive attributes associated with yoga, but more importantly, yoga exercises can also aid in the mental and physical development of the unborn child.
Yoga continues to have benefits after pregnancy. Postnatal yoga, which can be started about six weeks after the birth, strengthens abdominal muscles, helping you get back into shape faster.
We have a variety of books on yoga for pregnancy and Shiva Rea yoga DVDs for safe practice at home.
We recommend that you consult your doctor or midwife for advice before practicing yoga.
