Prenatal Yoga Workout

Do you know how to breathe properly?  Before your prenatal yoga workout, you will be taught how to breathe through a technique called ujjayi.  It requires you to breathe very slowly and deeply through your nose, completely filling the lower abdomen, middle abdomen and chest, before releasing your breath completely through the nose again.  By learning the breathing technique first you will see that this is going to cut down on a lot of stress before and after delivery of your baby.  This breathing technique will help you during stressful situations even when you go home after delivery of your baby and when dealing with matters of life forever. 

During your prenatal yoga workout you will wear loose fitting clothes for ease, and bare feet to keep balance and avoid slipping.  These yoga exercises will not begin until you are in your second and third trimester.  Just let your baby have a great 12 weeks of growing with you going easy on yourself before beginning the yoga exercises.  Usually you will do your workout in class at least 3 times a week and if you have to miss or just can not be there your instructor can give you or advise which yoga videos you can view and be able to do your workout at home.

The major part of your prenatal yoga workout is going to consist of learning how to breathe because it is said that if you can learn to think of breathing in three parts, the lower abdomen, middle abdomen and the chest, and if you can learn to only take three to four breaths in a minute then you will be in the state of meditation.  You will learn about breathing through one nostril or the other and what the right one means and what the left nostril means.  You will also learn sitting positions and what each one means to your body.

Your prenatal yoga workout is going to be gentle on your body and baby but so good for your soul.  You will learn not to lay flat to do exercises but to use a pillow under your right hip so as not to limit blood flow through a major vein called the vena cava to your uterus and baby.  This is very important even if you are one who doesn’t get dizzy and thinks this position will not affect you.  It may.   With the deep breathing which will relax and take away stress and make your labor much easier, you are on your way to a safe delivery for mother and baby.
