Prenatal yoga helps women to get prepared for labour condition with good and improved health. Not only yoga help mother but also give positive health condition for child. Prenatal yoga should be performed under the strict guidance of our certified yoga trainer at home after doctors consultation only. Following are some prenatal yoga asanas postures prescribed by Indira Gandhi Institute of Yog Services:
Yoga Prepares You For Labor: Prenatal yoga delivers the physical challenges inherent to pregnancy, eg shifting center of gravity and lower back pain. These postures will help removing body aches and build strength in your legs, back and stomach to prepare you for labour. Yoga also can ease labor and delivery, with moves that relax the hip muscles and use gravity to your advantage. Consider yoga a way to get physically stronger and emotionally healthier during pregnancy. Even if you are new to yoga allies, the simple modified yoga postures taught in prenatal yoga are both safe and beneficial to expectant mothers and may find comfort in yoga's gentle motions and breathing.
Benefits: Yoga helps keeping the body toned and flexible, and can be done up to delivery.

Belly Breathing: Sit erect on a pillow in a comfortable, cross-legged position, your hands on your lower belly. Close your eyes and breathe deeply through your nose,
keeping your face and jaw relaxed. Focus on relaxing your pelvic-floor muscles. Exhale slowly and repeat.
While you're in labor, you can rely on ujai pranayama, an ancient breathing technique, to help you relax through contractions. Here's how to do it: Keeping your jaw
and face relaxed and eyes closed, place the top of your tongue on the roof of your mouth, and hands on your belly. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose and
imagine drawing the breath into the crown of your head and the deepest part of your belly. Then exhale through your nose, drawing the belly in to empty all the air
out.
