Prenatal Yoga

Yoga has gained popularity these days because of it’s ability to tie in breathing, flexibility, stability, posture, endurance, strength, and relaxation.  But what about when you are pregnant?  Is it safe?  Are there things I shouldn’t do in yoga? Prenatal yoga allows you to create more space for your baby as you find yourself increasingly relaxed.   Make sure that you have permission from your doctor to practice yoga during your pregnancy.  Make sure that you are working with a certified yoga instructor that can guide you through the best postures for you at whatever stage of pregnancy you are in.  Look for certified prenatal yoga instructors.  Our office recommends the yogaworks studio in Mission Viejo.  Linda Trumpfheller, the instructor,  is not only certified to teach prenatal yoga, but she is also certified in hypnobirthing as well.  We have complimentary yoga passes to yogaworks.  Be sure to pick one up at your next visit to our office.
