It is essential for a pregnant woman to maintain her physical and
mental well being both for her own sake and for the sake of the baby.
Yoga asanas and pranayama are extremely beneficial for the pregnant
woman. A course of asanas can be safely practised to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
In asanas, the uterus is exercised to become strong and to function
more efficiently so that delivery can be normal.
The proper functioning of the ductless glands is all important and
yoga practice helps to bring about this hormonal balance. The practice
of asanas also helps to safeguard against miscarriage.
A pregnant woman needs good quality blood rich in haemoglobins and
for her blood pressure to be normal. The asanas can also help with
morning sickness, constipation, swelling, headache and toxaemia, they
aid proper digestion and easy breathing.
The practice of pranayama will help to remove fatigue, nervous tension
and to eliminate toxins, and to facilitate a natural and easy
delivery.
As individual problems and constitutions vary from woman to woman a
specific programme can be given for those not wishing to attend normal
classes.
