Yoga is popular as the benefits involved cannot be denied. though during the first three months of pregnancy, it is safe to continue with the yoga practice, it is suggested only for those women who are familiar and practicing yoga for a considerable period of time. However, double leg lifts, breath retention intent workouts should be avoided.

It is therefore safe, to start your prenatal yoga, after the completion of three months of pregnancy. Pregnancy is divided into 3 trimesters. You can practice some yoga right into labor. the most important thing is to have a positive attitude that the birth will be easy!

When compared to the other forms of exercising yoga has the added advantage of calming the body and the mind and increases awareness. Further it increases flexibility, decrease swelling and anxiety and allows to divert the pain of labor, along with reducing back and leg pain and insomnia.
