Prenatal yoga is an excellent way to learn techniques that make birthing more comfortable. Every yoga pose is adapted for your pregnant body, no matter where you are in that journey.
It allows you to learn how to best adjust to the physical demands of pregnancy. The goal is to calm both your mind and body to relieve physical and emotional stress. It is also a great way to meet other amazing people who are in the same season of life that you!

There are a few key things to keep in mind before taking your first or next prenatal yoga class. That includes:
Drink Water
When doing yoga while pregnant, it is crucial that you stay hydrated. If it feels right for you and your baby to have water during yoga, then drink away!
Focus On Connecting To Your Breath
Each and every class, you will learn how to become in tune with your breathing. This helps calm the mind and the central nervous system which is why it is so important for labor.
Focus on having smooth, even breaths. Matching the length of each inhale with every exhale.
Be Mindful Of Over Stretching
When you are pregnant, it is much easier to pull a muscle by overdoing a stretch.
Always focus on stability and less on flexibility.
Protect Your Vena Cava
Try not to lay on your back for too long since it may cut off circulation to your vena cava.
The vena cava is the vein that is responsible for delivering un-oxygenated blood to your heart.
Taking the time to nurture and connect with yourself while pregnant is one of the most rewarding feelings. At Orchid Nest, our prenatal yoga classes are ALL about support and connecting.
