Many pregnant women stop exercising when they find out they are pregnancy because they are not sure what is safe in pregnancy when it comes to exercise.
Is PREGNANCY Yoga Really Safe?
Yoga in general is a beautiful way to stretch and move the body, which can feel so good in pregnancy. There are some modifications that are recommended in pregnancy and some poses that are not ideal of your back, diastasis recti or pelvic girdle pain.
I talk you through some key points to consider for when you are choosing your exercise routines.
Here are three safe prenatal yoga routines that you can enjoy:

Pregnancy yoga has become increasingly popular among expecting mothers, and it’s easy to see why. The idea of staying active, flexible, and centered during pregnancy sounds incredibly appealing, especially considering the demands of motherhood that lie ahead.
When it comes to practicing yoga during pregnancy, one of the biggest concerns is the risk of injury or complications. Some women worry that certain poses could cause premature labor or even miscarriage.
Others are concerned about the physical demands of yoga on their changing bodies. And then there are those who are simply unsure about what types of yoga are safe during pregnancy, and which ones to avoid.
Another common misconception is that pregnancy yoga is only for women who were already practicing yoga before getting pregnant.
But what about those who are new to yoga or have never practiced before?
Can they still benefit from it, and is it safe for them to start a new exercise routine during pregnancy?
These are all valid concerns, and it’s essential to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the safety of pregnancy yoga. I always recommend you get approval from your doctor before starting. And only take classes from a qualified prenatal fitness instructor –
Despite these concerns, many women are drawn to pregnancy yoga because it’s often touted as a way to reduce symptoms like back pain, swelling, and anxiety.
Some of the most significant benefits of pregnancy yoga include increased flexibility, improved circulation, and enhanced overall well-being.
