prenatal-yoga-dvd.jpg Yoga has gained a lot of popularity over the last few decades, and this is especially true for pregnant women.

Yoga has 2 great benefits for the pregnant woman:

  • It teaches you how to breathe deeply and relax — key things you’ll need to know how to do during labor.
  • It enhances muscle tone and improves balance — which makes you feel better and helps you get through the pregnancy easier.

Pregnancy Yoga Tips

As seen in the following video, there are a few important things that you should know before starting yoga if you’re pregnant:

  • Make sure the instructor knows you’re pregnant. Or, take a yoga class for pregnant women.
  • There are few restrictions during the first trimester, but during the second and third trimester your joints are looser, so  you need to be careful of twisting and inversion poses.
  • Avoid positions that put you flat on your back.
  • Avoid classes that teach Bikram yoga (or hot yoga) because they heat the room up above 90 degrees and this is dangerous for a pregnant woman.
  • Talk to your doctor before beginning a yoga class.

My favorite things to write about are topics that have to do with pregnancy, weddings, saving money, living green, and life with dogs. When I’m not writing, I love to spend time with my husband, read, create 3D artwork and Native American beadwork.

About Us

AvatarI’m a new mom. I work from home and I write — mostly about my outdoor adventures, DIY projects, newly discovered products, and helpful tips as a first-time mom. I also like to share details about the alternative choices I’m exploring as I enjoy this journey called motherhood. My family includes a toddler, 2 stepchildren, 1 dog, 1 cat, and a wonderful husband. My pre-pregnancy life was full of freedom and adventure, so I have a fresh new perspective when it comes to walking away from a career to become a full time stay-at-home Mama.

DellaI’m a stay-at-home mom and writer. Having experienced the joys and discomforts of pregnancy 3 times, I have a lot of advice to offer expecting mothers. I’m committed to providing new moms with an in-depth and honest view on pregnancy -- so you’ll have a better idea of what to expect and a good feel for what pregnancy is really like.
