All You Need To Know About Teaching Prenatal Yoga Yoga is all about uniting the body and the mind. The idea to teach prenatal yoga has been widely celebrated due to the great benefits that accompany it. Yoga is a concept that depicts "union within" and can be easily seen as a way pregnant woman can maintain their health during the period of expectation. This is because the element of union and bond exists between the waiting mother and the unborn child. Therefore, if yoga can help form a deep connection and unification, then prenatal yoga is a must-do for all to-be moms. Teaching prenatal yoga comes with a combination of exercise techniques like pranayama, asana, and relaxation exercises. All these are made to help waiting moms maintain their physical body and improve their mental balance and self-awareness. To teach prenatal yoga does not require that you have experienced pregnancy. As long as you have practical knowledge of the female body, pregnancy, and conditions that come with pregnancy, you can handle pregnancy yoga. When teaching prenatal yoga, understand that you have two people in front of you. Therefore, you need to make considerations for both of them. You should not allow the mother to practice a technique that negatively affects the baby. It would help if you avoided positions like twists and balance asanas. Instead, practice asana that stretches the pelvic floor. Use techniques that elongate the spine and open the high back chain. Before you start a prenatal yoga class, ensure you have supports such as belts, bricks, blankets, armless chairs, and bolsters or cushions.
