Introduction

Yoga's origin can be traced back to more than 5,000 years ago, but some researchers believe that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old. The word 'Yoga' first appeared in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda, and is derived from the Sanskrit root Yuj which means to unite.

Yoga is primarily a spiritual discipline that focuses on subtle science, on achieving harmony between the mind and the body of the individual. According to the yoga scriptures, the practice of yoga leads an individual to a union of consciousness with that of universal consciousness. It eventually leads to a great harmony between the human mind and body, man and nature.

The Vedas is a series of texts comprising songs, mantras, and practices used by the Vedic priests, the Brahmans. Yoga was slowly refined and developed by the Brahman and Rishis (mystical seers) who documented their practice and belief in the Upanishads, a vast work containing more than 200 scriptures.

According to modern philosophers, anything in the world is merely a reflection of the same quantum firmament. One who experiences this oneness of life is considered being in yoga and is referred to as 'Yogi,' having achieved a condition of liberation referred to as Mukti, Nirvana, or Moksha. So the goal of yoga is self-realization, to overcome all kinds of sufferings leading to 'The State of Liberation’ (Moksha) or 'Freedom' (Kaivalya).

And yoga is not just for spiritual progress, it provides multiple health advantages as well, such as enhancing endurance, reducing depression, and improving overall wellness and fitness. It's a wonderful mind-body practice that encourages relaxation when you practice linking breathwork (Pranayama) to poses (Asanas). In addition, a recent study has also related the benefits of all types of yoga to enhanced bone density and better sleep quality.

As yoga has grown into mainstream popularity, many styles and variations have emerged in the wellness space. This centuries-old Eastern philosophy is now widely practiced and taught by people of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds.

There are 10 primary types of yoga. With so many different types, it may be a little difficult to determine which type is appropriate for you. But remember that there's no right or wrong—just that one might not be right for you at this moment.

You’ve to ask yourself what's important to you in your yoga practice: Are you searching for a sweaty, intense practice? Or are you searching for a more meditative, gentler practice that looks more appealing?

Like any sort of exercise, choose something you want to do; Bikram or Iyengar will attract you if you're a detailed person. If you're more of a free spirit, Vinyasa or Aerial yoga could be fun.

I've made a complete series on all 10 types of yoga. This is Prenatal Yoga; others are also available!

So, What is Prenatal Yoga?

A transition that is beyond your control will cause you to feel detached from your sense of self, which happens when you are pregnant. Yoga is a moving meditation, where breathing and various body poses lead to better alignment of mind and body. It helps you reconnect with your body and embrace its journey.

In yoga, it's always believed that every time you step on a mat, your body is different. You're working on accepting that change is constant. This is especially true in pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the body undergoes several adjustments and you want to stay in shape to do what is right for you and your child, which makes you emotionally and physically exhausted. Prenatal Yoga is a perfect way to do both. It helps brace you for the birth process and is also beneficial to the baby.

It provides a much-needed opportunity to slow down and bond with your baby and your body as it grows. Whether you're new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, you will reap the many advantages of yoga during pregnancy.

Physicians also prescribe yoga during pregnancy as it eases certain pregnancy complications such as constipation, back pain, bloating, swelling, and exhaustion. And according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, being active benefits moms mentally along with enhancing their energy, mood, and sleeping pattern. Thus, Prenatal Yoga could be the perfect workout for pregnant mothers.

There are several benefits of Prenatal Yoga. For instance, yoga during pregnancy helps tone your muscles, and certain poses can help ease back pain. Many poses ideal for pregnant women has a low joint impact, making it a better and more relaxed option than other more challenging forms of exercise.

It also emphasizes breathing exercises and meditation, that will brace you for labor while helping you relieve tension and discomfort. And, while you can practice it in the privacy of your living room, if you choose to go out and take a Prenatal Yoga class, you can have the additional advantages of meeting other mothers-to-be, sharing insights, and creating connections.

Here in this guide, you’ll discover a balanced Prenatal Yoga practice with the unique opportunity to bring together your mind, body, and soul in one beautiful experience. It allows you to safely get to know your body and explore the limits of your mind. The ultimate aim of this practice is physical vitality, but also mental stability.

The practice involves breath, body, and mind and sessions typically require 40-60 minutes of gentle stretching, yoga poses, cool down, pranayamas, and meditation.

So, are you interested in learning all about how Prenatal Yoga can benefit you and your baby? This is a comprehensive guide to take a closer look at what this yoga style can do for you and how you can master it for your as well as your fetus’s overall well-being.

Science Behind Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal Yoga seems like a safe practice to be done during pregnancy, and it actually is, but what exactly can Prenatal Yoga do to make you feel amazing and relaxed for the most critical nine months of your life?

In all three trimesters, pregnant women feel hormonal spikes, mood swings, outbreaks of insomnia, and regular urges to urinate.
