Gentle Movements for a Healthier You
Physical Benefits
Pregnancy often brings discomforts like back pain, neck pain, swelling, fatigue, and digestive issues.
These are frequently caused or exacerbated by poor posture as the body adjusts to the added weight and shifts in the centre of gravity.
Hatha yoga can help alleviate these discomforts by:
While gentle stretching is essential for preparing the body for childbirth, pregnancy increases levels of the hormone relaxin, which makes ligaments and joints more flexible. This enhanced flexibility is beneficial but requires mindful practice to avoid overstretching or injury. At Om Asana, we prioritise safe, guided movements to protect your body while maximising the benefits of yoga.
Find Strength and Serenity with Pregnancy Yoga
Emotional and Mental Benefits
The emotional shifts of pregnancy can bring challenges such as stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep. Hatha yoga encourages mindfulness, calming the nervous system and reducing stress hormones like cortisol while boosting mood-enhancing serotonin. Regular practice fosters a sense of inner peace and helps expectant mothers manage the demands of pregnancy.
At Om Asana, we’ve seen how yoga can also improve sleep quality, helping you feel more rested and ready for the journey ahead.
Connecting Mind, Body, and Baby
Relaxed Mothers, Relaxed Babies
Scientific research highlights the profound benefits of prenatal yoga for both mother and baby. By reducing maternal stress, yoga helps create a calmer uterine environment, promoting the development of the baby’s nervous system.
This can lead to more relaxed infants after birth. Additionally, studies show that prenatal yoga can reduce anxiety, shorten labour durations, and alleviate pain, making it an invaluable tool for mothers-to-be.
At Om Asana, we’re committed to helping you enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy, strengthen your mind and body, and prepare for labour with confidence. Join us to explore how yoga can be your trusted companion on this incredible journey.
