My friend keeps telling me to join prenatal yoga but im not sure how much it really helps. Im in second trimester and thinking about starting. Did it make a difference for u?
Prenatal yoga helped me so much with breathing and back pain, but only after my doctor cleared it. I joined a proper prenatal class, not regular yoga. The breathing really helped me during labour too.
Actually prenatal yoga was a lifesaver yaar, my mood and sleep both improved. But seriously do it with a trained instructor only. I wouldnt do random poses from youtube na.
I had a slightly high risk pregnancy so my gynac told me to skip most poses and just walk. So please get it cleared first, it really depends on your case. Dont assume it's safe for everyone.
For me it was as much about calm as the body. A few gentle stretches and deep breaths kept my mind positive. Just keep it light and listen to your body.
