Suryanamskar during pregnancy (with modification and doctor approval)

1. Namaste/ pranamasana (Prayer Pose)

Benefit: Centers your breath and mind, helps reduce anxiety.
Tip: Feet slightly apart for stability.

2. Hasta Uttanasana (Raised Arms Pose)

Benefit: Opens the chest, improves breathing, and stretches the spine.
Tip: Keep a gentle arch, avoid leaning too far back.

3. Modified – Malasana (Garland Pose) instead of Forward Bend

Benefit: Opens hips and pelvic floor, strengthens ankles and core — excellent for preparing the body for labor.
Tip: Keep heels on the floor (or place a rolled blanket underneath), use a wall or blocks for support if balance is challenging.

4. Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian Pose)

Benefit: Lengthens the thighs, hips, and strengthens the legs.
Tip: Hands on blocks, don't push too deep into the stretch.

5. Modified Dandasana (Half Lower Down)

Benefit: Strengthens arms and core with less pressure on the abdomen.
Tip: From plank, lower just a few inches or hold high plank with knees down — avoid full Chaturanga.

6 & 7 – Skipped (No Ashtanga Namaskara or Cobra)

Reason: These involve lying on the belly or deep backbends, which are not ideal during pregnancy.

8. Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog) Optional or Modified

Benefit: Stretches back and legs, relieves swelling and stiffness.
Tip: Keep knees bent, use wall or props, or skip and return to hands/knees if it feels too intense.

9–12 (Repeat in Reverse)

Do the same movements in reverse, switching leg sides where needed.

Here are some mental and emotional benefits of practicing Surya Namaskar during pregnancy (with modifications):

⭐ Reduces Anxiety & Stress

The rhythmic breath and mindful movement help calm the nervous system — easing anxious thoughts and mood swings.

⭐ Improves Sleep Quality

Gentle movement and deep breathing before bed can help relax your body and mind, promoting more restful sleep.

⭐ Boosts Mood

Movement releases endorphins (feel-good hormones), which help lift your mood and fight off pregnancy blues.

⭐ Enhances Mind-Body Connection

Regular practice builds awareness of your changing body, helping you feel more connected

🌿 Rebirth: A Mother's Journey Through Creation and Self-Discovery

If you've been wondering about my absence over the past few months, it's because I embarked on the most profound journey of my life—bringing a new human into the world. First, nurturing this little soul within my womb, and now, caring for them outside. This new role has completely reshaped my perception of myself.

Pregnancy was a whirlwind of emotions—a blend of joy, anticipation, and challenges. Now, with my baby at 8 months old, I'm gradually rebuilding myself, step by step.

Throughout this journey, yoga has been my anchor. During pregnancy, it helped alleviate stress, improve sleep, and enhance flexibility, making the experience more manageable. Post-delivery, yoga has been instrumental in aiding my recovery, strengthening my body, and uplifting my spirit.

I owe immense gratitude to my husband, whose unwavering support has been a pillar of strength during this transformative phase.

As I continue to navigate motherhood, I look forward to sharing more about this journey and the practices that have supported me along the way.
