Yoga and Pregnancy: A Holistic Approach Yoga encompasses four primary types: Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. Asana and pranayama are integral components of Hatha Yoga. Pregnancy is a physiological state, yet it can be accompanied by complications. Yogasanas are slow and steady exercises that promote overall well-being, as encapsulated in the phrase 'sthiram sukham asanam.' During pregnancy, numerous physiological changes occur. For instance, constipation is a common issue that can be alleviated through specific asanas like Balasan. Up to four months, Pavanmuktasana is recommended. A positive mindset during pregnancy has a profound impact on both the mother and the baby's growth. Pranayama and breathing techniques not only facilitate stress management but also enhance lung capacity, ensuring better oxygenation for the baby. At Pragathi Hospital, we tailor exercise and treatment programs to suit each patient's unique condition.
