During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes, which can create mental and physical stress. Prenatal yoga helps to maintain a healthy mind and body, focusing on poses to increase strength and flexibility. As your baby grows, most of the weight is in the stomach area, which can lead to posture changes and added stress on the lower back.
The Intelligent method taught at Jane’s House Studio facilitates support for Moms needing stabilization around the trunk of the body. It helps maintain proper spine and pelvis alignment, which can help reduce low back pain. Prenatal yoga also helps pregnant women develop proper breathing and relaxation techniques to make labor more comfortable.
Pregnancy can be a stressful time in a woman’s life with changes in the body and hormone levels. Routine yoga practice can help reduce cortisol levels in the body.

By lowering your stress levels, you can improve your mood and sleep better. Routine yoga practice can help reduce cortisol levels in the body.
Prenatal yoga is a beautiful way to connect to your baby, yourself, and other Moms. It can be beneficial to expand your support system to include other pregnant mothers, giving you the opportunity to talk with someone going through pregnancy. Participation in prenatal yoga classes helps you meet other expecting mothers with whom you can share your concerns. The opportunity to share your concerns and receive validation can be a tremendous gift for your heart and mind.
Because of the accelerated pace of changes in the body during pregnancy, prenatal yoga can help pregnant women adjust and compensate by offering safe ways to strengthen and stretch their bodies.

Aches and pains can be minimized during your pregnancy, and your body can bounce back to toned condition more quickly after the birth with prenatal yoga.
