Pregnancy affects women in a variety of different ways; some women feel wonderful the whole time, with only a protruding belly as evidence, while others experience any combination of nausea, muscle aches, joint strains, and generally ill feelings. Prenatal yoga provides many benefits for expecting mothers. Not only does it relieve specific aches and pains associated with a growing and changing body, but the practice of prenatal yoga can also be beneficial at easing anxieties and fears related to the impending birth and life-change. Women can also connect with other pregnant women at prenatal yoga classes, providing a sense of community and friendship during this special time of life. As more expecting mothers are trying to stay fit and healthy throughout their pregnancies, the benefits of prenatal yoga are becoming well-known.
