YOGA AND PRANAYAMA DURING PREGNANCY
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda & Alternative Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Yoga is an extraordinary spiritual science of self development and self realization that shows us how to develop our full potential in our many sided lives. Ayurveda is the ancient medicine healing system for body, mind and spirit. Yoga and Ayurveda have long been linked together as two complementary systems of human development. A women’s body is biologically created for certain specific functions. She has to undergo the four stages of life – childhood, adolescence, middle age and old age. In each of these four stages, she undergoes physiological changes and has to face problems and internal conflicts. A woman who has looked after her health will reap the reward by having a healthy pregnancy and delivery. It is absolutely essential for a pregnant woman to maintain her physical and mental well being both for her own sake and for the sake of the child within. There are mistaken notions about yoga for pregnant women. Some women fear that it may lead to miscarriage. This is however nothing but an old wives’ tale. Women should begin to practice yoga before conception to improve maternal health and ensure sound health for future generations. Yogasanas are however nonviolent, improve blood circulation and strengthen the body. These yogasanas are meant to avoid dangers, complications occurring during pregnancy and delivery.
