Prenatal yoga is recognized as one of the best and most comprehensive ways to prepare for childbirth and the arrival of a baby. It is a practice that allows pregnant women to get through their pregnancy feeling both fit and relaxed. Through physical and mental attitudes, they can gain confidence in their resources and take control of their motherhood.
Prenatal yoga is a physical practice that aims to achieve balance and harmony between body and mind. “In fact, yoga means union,” explains Bernadette de Gasquet, doctor and yoga teacher. The practice consists of physical exercises that can be done at any stage of pregnancy. Yoga helps to alleviate all the minor ailments of pregnancy, such as back pain and anxiety.
It also teaches you how to position and hold yourself better in everyday life: sitting, going down stairs, carrying your baby, turning over in bed, etc. Thanks to a better understanding of your body and stretching exercises, pregnant women feel more agile and mobile, despite their belly and weight.
