What is Prenatal Yoga?

Prenatal yoga is a safe, gentle form of stretching and strength building for pregnant women. A typical prenatal yoga class will include a variety of postures to increase flexibility, build endurance, and relieve stress and anxiety. Prenatal poses are designed specifically for women in every stage of their pregnancy, using blocks, bolsters and blankets to support the body and encourage proper alignment.


Prenatal yoga is great for beginners and advanced yogis who want to stay active and centered while preparing the body for childbirth. This practice is an effective way to help you adapt to changes in your body and reduce risk of hypertension. Even though prenatal yoga is regarded as safe for pregnant women, it’s important to get approval from your doctor first.
