Did you know that your pelvic floor and your breathing are deeply connected? And that it’s never too early to start training your pelvic floor — even during pregnancy? One gentle and effective way to support both is through yoga.
I practiced yoga throughout my entire pregnancy, right up until the day my little one was born. Of course, I can’t say for sure how things would’ve gone without it, but I truly believe that it made a difference — not just physically, but emotionally, too. It helped me stay connected to my body, calm my mind, and feel more grounded during all the changes pregnancy brings. And when the time came to give birth, I felt strong, centered, and as prepared as I could be.
Every woman’s body and journey are different, so it’s important to listen to yourself and figure out what feels right for you. But if you’re curious, I highly recommend giving prenatal yoga a try — even if you’ve never done yoga before. It’s not about being flexible or mastering poses; it’s about taking time to breathe, stretch, and connect with your baby.
If you’re looking for a place to start, try Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose). It’s a gentle hip opener that encourages relaxation and can be especially comforting during pregnancy. Just remember: this isn’t a competition. There’s no right or wrong here. This is time for you and your baby.
A quick word of caution — some yoga poses aren’t recommended during pregnancy, so it’s best to join a prenatal yoga class where instructors are trained to safely guide you through movements tailored to your stage of pregnancy.
So roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and enjoy the journey. You and your baby deserve it. 💛
