Pre-pregnancy Yoga

I'm getting ready to start TTC in a few months and am starting to do yoga st home. I've been focusing on my core, but are there other areas of my body that I could benefit from strengthening to have a healthier and hopefully easier future pregnancy?

  • I'd invest in a prenatal yoga video or, better yet, see if you can rent one from the library!

  • I wouldn't focus on core too much, anything that focuses finding stability and inviting energy in, the best thing is to find a local class. For fertility restorative yoga and deep relaxation is the most powerful..
  • Even if you're new to the discipline, yoga can be perfectly safe for conceiving. The secret is to begin slowly and avoid entering too many stances. Instead, pay attention to your breathing. Without proper alignment, going too deep into a pose puts you in danger of injury.
  • I feel very good after yoga, I recommend it to everyone, especially if you have a sedentary job
  • It's great to hear that you're preparing for your journey into motherhood! In addition to focusing on your core, consider strengthening your pelvic floor muscles, as they play a crucial role during pregnancy and childhood.

    Incorporating yoga poses that target the hips, lower back, and legs can also enhance flexibility and support overall body strength. Building endurance through activities like swimming or walking can help you remain active during pregnancy. Remember to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional or a prenatal yoga instructor for tailored advice.

    This proactive approach can significantly contribute to a healthier pregnancy experience. Best of luck on this exciting journey ahead!
