Yoga for weight loss during pregnancy

After pregnancy, women should pay special attention to their physical health, because at this time, in addition to their own health problems, they cannot ignore the health care of the fetus. Many women will practice yoga after pregnancy, so let us specifically understand and learn about some common sense issues that need to be paid attention to when practicing yoga during pregnancy.

1. Practice in harmony with your breathing. Each movement should be accompanied by exhalation and inhalation. The basic principle is to inhale when the body rises or stretches. This is also a logical method. Because only in this way can the lungs have room to expand, and exhaling when the body bends or contracts helps to expel the gas from the lungs.

2. During practice, it is important to relax after each pose to allow your heart rate and breathing to return to normal.

3. Exercises should be balanced between the two sides of the body, and exercises done on one side should be repeated on the other side (it is normal for one side of the body to be stronger and more flexible than the other). Start practicing on the right side of your body first, then on the left side, because this helps the natural peristalsis of the digestive system. All exercises in yoga are designed to promote and enhance body functions.

4. Do not hold your breath or practice apnea during pregnancy because the fetus needs oxygen supply all the time.

5. Closing your eyes can help you concentrate better (you should keep your eyes open when standing to maintain your body balance).

6. Your center of gravity changes during pregnancy, so when practicing inversions or balancing poses, you can use a wall or chair for support, or ask a family member or friend to help you maintain your balance.

When women practice yoga during pregnancy, they certainly cannot do the same thing as before pregnancy, because there are many taboos that need to be paid attention to, mainly to avoid adverse effects on the fetus during the practice of yoga. Therefore, we hope that after introducing the above content, every pregnant friend can pay attention to abide by these principles.
