Yoga is a form of exercise and meditation where breath and specific body positions are used to help connect the mind and body. And prenatal yoga focuses on positions that are specifically designed for pregnant women’s bodies.
Much like other types of childbirth-preparation classes, prenatal yoga is a multifaceted approach to exercise that encourages stretching, mental centering and focused breathing. Research suggests that prenatal yoga is safe and can have many benefits for pregnant women and their babies.
