Mothers-to-be are the home of children

Body movement is only a very one-sided and subtle part of the yoga concept. Pregnant mothers should adjust activities according to individual conditions. It is natural to suspend inappropriate exercise and yoga poses, but yoga practice should not be suspended, let alone nourishment.

The general public’s perception of yoga is one-sided physical exercise, and even some doctors have this misunderstanding due to the influence of commercial trends.

Therefore, under the premise of protecting pregnant mothers, many “professional suggestions” are that first-time mothers or pregnant mothers under special circumstances are not suitable for yoga.

The generally recognized “pregnant yoga” is recommended to avoid in the first trimester, or, if you have no “yoga” experience at all, you may not start practicing until after the second trimester.

However, in human transformation and yoga, it is not completely true.

Pregnant mother is the home of the child in the womb

The musculoskeletal structure is just like the outer wall of this home. A stable outer wall (mother’s muscle/limb health) is inevitable, but it is not enough, far from enough.

During pregnancy, not only the limbs continue to change, but also the physiological changes in the digestive function, nutrient absorption, body metabolism and mental state of the pregnant mother that deeply affect the mother and fetus.

Practicing during pregnancy, protecting and strengthening the mother’s body is inevitable, but the fact is that one person is practicing but benefiting two people, so it is inevitable to avoid practicing yoga, but yoga should not be stopped during pregnancy There are many yoga exercises suitable for the whole pregnancy, and the effect on the mother and fetus is also quite deep.

People say to pregnant women that during pregnancy, one person eats and two people absorb, so the nourishment of a pregnant mother is naturally done by one person and two people absorb it. Pregnant mothers are of course the ones who can benefit immediately from physical exercises, but more yoga methods are done together by the mother’s body and the fetal body. So how can the statement “yoga is not suitable during pregnancy” make sense?

Yoga is not just physical exercise

Pregnancy status varies from person to person, as well as age and physique, and even the same person’s previous pregnancy experience can vary greatly. Therefore, the control of limb conditioning during pregnancy should be based on individual circumstances.

In addition, the limbs before pregnancy are all strong, compared with the limbs that never exercised before pregnancy, it is a matter of two worlds.

Therefore, in addition to ensuring that the placenta is stable and regulating physical activity in the early stages of pregnancy, the amount of activity after the placenta stabilizes depends on the individual’s physique.

Pregnant women in any state need to pay special attention to the following:

Stability of the entire back

Otherwise, the lower back will be more vulnerable to pressure than when you are not pregnant, and the labor will be accelerated.

Stability of the pelvis
The pelvis is the “base” of the entire spine, and maintaining the stability of the pelvis is an important organ of the entire body structure.

It is also a very direct help to maintain the health of the uterus.

Maintain the elasticity of the pelvic floor muscles

There is a group of very small muscles in the pelvis, which support the uterine organs, bladder and other organs. This group of small muscles has important functions but is very young, and it is not easy to feel it normally. It is easier to sag during pregnancy. The common pelvic The bottom muscle problem is that it is easy to have mild urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after childbirth.

Practicing the pelvic floor muscles can not only maintain the normal operation of the organs, but also help the smooth delivery process.

Therefore, from a physical point of view, pregnant women who are not physically fit naturally need to adjust, starting with gradually warming up the muscles and exercising a stable body posture;
For those who have a foundation in yoga practice, except for some specified poses that need to be avoided, it is enough to practice the overall muscles and maintain stability.

For pregnant women who have no yoga experience, the body needs are nothing more than the above three things, and they need to be matched according to individual situations.

Abdominal breathing is not limited to the diaphragm

If you are interested in reading, you will also find that these 3 events are similar to ordinary exercises?
Yes, these 3 things are “breathing muscles“, also known as “postural muscles“, which are necessary to maintain the body’s functions, so of course daily practice is inseparable.

Many people think that breathing method and breathing practice are static or dull exercises. This is a conformal misunderstanding in the general society.

In the three areas mentioned in the previous part, the muscles are driven by abdominal breathing.

Wrong breathing habits are very common due to different reasons, and they are directly related to posture problems, shoulder and neck fatigue, etc.
And because of the vicious circle, the limbs lose their proper support (breathing muscles), and the quality of breathing continues to deteriorate, leading to poor spirits, poor sleep quality, easy backlog, emotional instability, etc., which are also very common urban ecology.

What’s more, a pregnant mother whose hormones and body are constantly changing?
Therefore, the abnormal position or fatigue of the limb structure is the reflection of the quality of breathing, that is, the reflection of the mental state.
How can it be done just by taking care of the exterior walls? Is it right?

Therefore, even in the period when big movements are not suitable in the early stages of pregnancy, breathing exercises can be continued. Ah, it should be said that it is more necessary to practice internal adjustment exercises such as proper breathing methods.

Because what you are doing is already the first step in reorganizing the “core muscles“, and it has a great improvement on limb fatigue, digestive function, and deep sleep.
