What are the benefits of yoga for pregnant women and postpartum women

Pregnant mothers will be treated like national treasures during their pregnancy and will receive the best treatment in terms of both movement and diet. A pregnant mother usually does very little exercise, but her nutrition is constantly increasing, so a lot of fat will grow on her body during pregnancy. At the same time, during pregnancy, the living habits and body structure of the pregnant mother will also change. At this time, participating in yoga training after delivery will help them recover well.

1. Postpartum recovery yoga can restore a slim and good figure

Reduce excess fat on the waist, abdomen, buttocks and legs, improve blood circulation, restore skin tension and reduce fat accumulation, thereby achieving the goal of weight loss. Because the joint tissues in the body become loose after childbirth, it is necessary to follow the guidance of a professional yoga teacher to avoid sports injuries.

2. Postpartum restorative yoga can improve bad posture

Pregnant women are prone to poor posture due to physiological changes, such as forward shift of the body's center of gravity, cervical lordosis, forward pull of the shoulder blades, forward tilt of the pelvis, and shift of the center of gravity to the heels. After delivery, the center of gravity moves forward because of holding the baby, which can easily cause postpartum pain in the neck, back, pelvis and heels.

3. Postpartum recovery yoga can rebuild the abdominal and pelvic floor muscle tension

After childbirth, the abdominal muscle tissue relaxes and its tension weakens. Yoga training can enhance recovery, strengthen the abdominal and pelvic muscles to increase the support strength of the organs in the pelvis and prevent the occurrence of stress urinary incontinence.

4. Relieve postpartum psychological pressure and reduce postpartum mental burden. Even though postpartum yoga can help expectant mothers recover after childbirth, the prerequisite is scientific practice and long-term practice to achieve certain results. At the same time, when practicing postpartum yoga, expectant mothers should control the amount of exercise according to their physical condition to avoid harm caused by excessive exercise.

5. The diet also needs to be adjusted. Because we need to breastfeed the baby, we cannot go on a diet, so we should try to eat more vegetables that are rich in protein, vitamins, and fiber. This can not only feed the baby, but also help us shape our body. Foods that are high in fat and calories are not necessarily high in protein! Eat more fish, lean meat, eggs, fungi, vegetables and fruits.

Postpartum yoga can help pregnant women restore their body shape, which can also shape women's exquisite curves, and at the same time help women form good living habits. However, during the training process, women also need to listen to the coach's advice and control the intensity of exercise so that the training can achieve the best results.
