Are you doing yoga during pregnancy? These 4 asanas are like nectar, but do not make these mistakes even by mistake

News India Live, Digital Desk: Pregnancy is the most beautiful but delicate period of a woman’s life. It is very important to remain physically and mentally healthy during this time. Yoga can prove to be a great partner in this. It not only makes the body flexible and strengthens the muscles, but also keeps the mind calm by reducing stress, which is beneficial for both the mother and the child.

But one needs to be very careful while doing yoga during pregnancy. Not every yoga asana is safe for pregnant women. Yogasana done wrongly can cause harm instead of benefit. Therefore, it is very important to know which asanas to do and what things to keep in mind while doing them.

Which yoga asanas are safe during pregnancy?

Here are some yoga asanas which are generally considered safe and beneficial during pregnancy, but always consult your doctor and an expert yoga guru before doing them.

1. Tadasana (Mountain Pose):
This is one of the simplest asanas. It stretches the body, straightens the spine and improves balance. It is very effective in providing relief from back pain during pregnancy.

2. Marjariyasana (Cat-Cow Pose):
This asana is done in the posture of cat and cow. It makes the spine flexible and exerts mild pressure on the abdominal muscles, which improves digestion. This is also a great asana to reduce stress.

3. Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose):
This asana strengthens the legs, thighs and shoulders. It increases the stamina of the body, which is very useful at the time of delivery. In the beginning it is safer to do it with the support of the wall.

4. Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose):
This asana stretches the inner thighs and hip area, thereby opening the pelvic area. It helps a lot in preparing the body for normal delivery.

Pay special attention to these things while doing yoga

• Do not put pressure on the stomach: Avoid any posture that involves lying on the stomach or puts too much pressure on the stomach.
• Avoid excessive strain: During pregnancy, relaxin hormone is produced in the body, due to which the joints become loose. Therefore, do not try to stretch the body beyond its capacity.
• Don’t hold your breath: Do not hold your breath in any asana. Keep breathing in and out normally.
• Listen to your body: If you feel pain, discomfort or dizziness while doing any asana, then stop doing it immediately and rest.
• Expert advice required: Consult a certified yoga instructor to know which asanas are safe according to your pregnancy trimester.

Yoga can make the pregnancy journey easy and pleasant, provided it is done with the right knowledge and complete caution.
