Reason 1 – Oxygenation of your body and the baby
First of the 5 reasons to practice yoga in pregnancy is better breathing. Exercises of pranayama (breathing techniques) help to relax mind, stretch diaphragm and oxygenate the body. Likewise, good nutrition, getting enough oxygen for you and your baby is essential. Moreover, learning breathing techniques is beneficial for future birth. Because correct breathing will help you make your labor less intense and protect you from tearing. Good deep breath has a pain killer effect and helps your uterus to work more efficient. This one of the reason to practice prenatal yoga.
Reason 2 – Increase circulation and enhance your inner organs health.
Movements that don’t load your joints, like yoga are great stimulation for your blood circulation. The more blood circulates around your organs and uterus – the healthier environment for the baby you create. Besides, you will feel more energized and strong. For some women, this could be very important as they might feel sleepy and tired most of the time.

Reason 5 – Connection with your baby
While this quiet focusing practise you will start to develop quality time with your baby. You will direct more attention to your inner space and you will start to feel your baby responds to that attention. It is a very special moment to all mothers-to-be, I would call it “date with your baby”.
