Prenatal Yoga?

Mar 22, 2007 by amylouwho | Posted in Pregnancy

I have always been athletic, but never really had to work out because I played so many sports. I wanted to look into prenatal yoga, but have never even taken a regular yoga class. Will this be a problem?

No!
I never did yoga before, but last month got a prenatal yoga dvd and i LOVE it!! It is sooo relaxing, and I find myself with more energy and flexibility.
It is a gentle activity, and easy to learn. If you join a class, it should be a prenatal yoga class. I live rural so didn;t have the option of joining a class, but just got a dvd. I do it right before bed, it helps me sleep better, too, and wake up more refreshed.
Have fun!
