Pregnancy

The practice of yoga during pregnancy is adapted to this phase for the woman, and takes into account her specific needs. It is mainly centred on:

• The opening of the pelvis
• The relaxation of the abdominal region
• The development of the strength of the back
• The opening of the rib cage

The physiological effects are multiple and beneficial for the future mother as for the development of the baby :

• Evolution of the breath
• Increase of blood oxygenation
• Hormonal balance

A regular practice allows engagement in a profound dialogue with oneself for self-learning, self-understanding, to cultivate an internal stability, to develop self-confidence, to approach the term with serenity. It can help diminish :

• Tiredness
• Emotional states
• Fear, apprehension, anxiety and stress
• Premature contractions

The difficulties confronted provide an opportunity to modify what hinders feminine self-fulfillment.
