Yoga for pregnant for women

Pregnancy and birth are natural development processes. Initially yoga describes the development path of the whole human. The yoga positions also known as asanas are a part of that. With examination of the asanas as well as the shapinga aesthetic form, learning steps can be achieved which can stimulate the development of the complete body.

The pregnancy,this small everyday wonder is characterized by development and new beginnings. A new human emerges and the parenthood begins. The increasing physical bond during the pregnancy eventually leads to a widening f.e in relationships.

So that something can grow more easier, it needs an appropriate development space. Calmness, power and an orientation of wiser objectives with appropriate inner ideas can widen the space. For example in yoga these potentials are stimulated.

Naturally the physical tightness intesifies over the course of the pregnancy. Internally a lot of movement will start to begin. The external leeway of the women will eventually get more and more restricted. The growing human takes up further space in the restricted conditions until it leaves it in the birth. Via the control of consciousness, development of feelings and an open breathing, a new widening and more flowing movement can be achieved.

In the physical retroactive effect the open breathing can f.e result in a more light feeling. The diaphragm can relax wherby the room for development can be expanded. These exercises encourage a more powerful, smooth and relaxed musculature.

These potentials of calmness, persistent energy as well as the relaxing and happy approach to a new beginning in pregnancy, birth and in general life are all encouraged with the asana practice on different levels.

Pregnancy and birth are natural moving development processes. The joy in the art of movement and its arrangement in yoga are good companions and orientation points on your path.
