Research indicates that the exercise of the prenatal Yoga is an effective way to enhance the mental health of a pregnant woman, as it helps in physical balance, regulate mood, and reduce tension during pregnancy, and health experts emphasized that this old practice is today an important supplementary tool to support mothers on their journey towards motherhood.
According to the Hindistan Times newspaper, Dr. Citna Jin, director of the obstetrics and gynecology department at the Cloudnine Hospital in Gurgown, explained that during pregnancy yoga can re -program the mind and body positively, if it is properly practiced and under the supervision of a specialist.
When is it recommended to practice yoga?
According to Dr. Jin, it is preferable to start practicing yoga after the end of the first third of pregnancy (about 12 weeks to 13), especially for those who were not previously practiced. In this field, new women advise joining specialized yoga courses, or exercising under the supervision of a fitness specialist during pregnancy.
When should you refrain from yoga?
There are some cases that require fully avoiding yoga, including:
• Vaginal bleeding or the presence of an eloquent placenta
• The existence of a history of premature birth or miscarriage
Acute anemia or heart problems
• Recommending the doctor to stay in full rest in bed
The perfect routine for yoga during pregnancy
• It is recommended to practice yoga three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes
• Merging exercises with deep breathing techniques and meditation sessions ranging from 5 to 10 minutes
• Avoid severe movements or deep rear bends
• Using supports such as pillows and supporters to enhance comfort and safety
Dr. Jin emphasized that the prenatal Yoga is not a complete treatment, but it is an effective supportive means that helps mothers communicate with their bodies, and to enhance the psychological and emotional readiness of motherhood.
She added: I encourage women to give mental health the same amount of attention to nutrition and medical supplements. The calm and reassuring pregnancy reflects positively on the health of the mother and the fetus together.
She concluded by saying: If you are pregnant and feel anxious, mood swings or exhaustion, do not feel lonely. You can resort to prenatal yoga to find the tranquility and support you need. When the mother calms down, her fetus calms down with her.
