What is the difference between prenatal yoga and regular yoga classes?
There are a few major differences between prenatal and regular yoga classes. Here are a few examples:
- A prenatal yoga class will never be hot and intensive, as hot yoga, Vinyasa or Ashtanga yoga is not considered a great idea for pregnant people.
- Prenatal yoga will use significantly more props, to help support your body as it changes and grows.
- Prenatal yoga will not include advanced inversions and arm balances (think: handstand, crow pose, etc)
- A prenatal yoga class will not ask a woman to lay on her back or belly.
- A prenatal yoga class is going to approach core work very differently than a regular class.
I hope your pregnancy journey will bring all the best sides that women can feel and experience during these 9 months and afterward.
