It is important to stay active during pregnancy in order to prepare the body for childbirth and grow a healthy baby. Many women are able to continue with their normal fitness routines by adding some modifications during the second and third trimesters. Prenatal yoga classes are becoming more common as pregnant women across the country are reaping the benefits of staying fit, healthy, and limber throughout their pregnancies. Yoga provides a gentle, low-impact way to stretch and strengthen the muscles, joints, and ligaments to keep pregnant women feeling comfortable as well as prepare them for childbirth.
