I am a certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher in Galway and approaching the final stages of my pregnancy I decided to blog about how beneficial I have found my Yoga practice to be.
I have Scoliosis since childhood and I believe that without my daily practice my back would have been a lot more problematic.
So this is some info of my pregnancy practice how it has helped me.
Benefits of my Yoga practice:
This has been great for maintaining tone and strength in the legs and arms, when other cardio exercises becomes less viable during pregnancy the standing poses provides great way of maintaining the tone and strength in the body. The 90' turn of the leg is hip opening starting to work into the flexibility of the hips. The lateral extension is excellent for the spine, for creating space in areas that are being compressed by the growing bump and It also maintains strength and flexibility in the spine.
I am not qualified to teach Pregnancy Yoga but I have been able to continue my yoga practice which has been brilliant for my pregnancy
