Why Modify Yoga During Pregnancy?

As a general rule of safety, it is recommended that pregnant mums avoid intense exercise, avoid any moves that jolt the joints and pelvic floor, and avoid positions or activities that may stress the body or compromise blood flow to the uterus.

With pregnancy comes a variety of significant hormonal, physiological and psychological changes. So welcoming and acknowledging these changes during pregnancy and being prepared to adapt your yoga practice for safety is paramount.

For the best practice, some yoga poses are contraindicated and are best avoided no matter how fit or healthy you may feel. Meanwhile, other yoga poses need to be modified according to your unique body as you progress in pregnancy.

Your body is constantly changing throughout pregnancy, so it only makes sense to match your yoga practice with these changes. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that mums practice yoga with a qualified yoga teacher, who is very familiar with the pregnancy and postnatal aspects of yoga.
