How Prenatal Yoga Helps You Connect To Baby

Yoga not only helps expectant mothers to prepare their body for birth, but it also aids them in connecting with their unborn child. This comes from the aspect of Yoga that most Western areas of exercise tend to ignore, concentration and meditation.

The smooth movements of Yoga combined with the need for concentration to properly hold the poses combine in a unique way that allows a person to truly connect with her body and the changes that are taking place therein.

As your belly grows, you will notice a definite shift in balance, pain in the ankles and the hips, along with the infamous lower back pain. Of course, if you are one of the lucky ones, you will never have to experience any of these "joys" of pregnancy.

If, however, you are like the rest of us here on planet "When will this pregnancy be over," you will appreciate the subtle benefits of the gentle stretches of Yoga to relieve the aches and pains of pregnancy. But no matter what type of pregnancy you have, every expectant mother can benefit from the connections made in Yoga.

These connections occur when you are learning how a certain pose feels. As you learn the little adjustments that you need to make the poses more comfortable, you will begin to notice other connections during your every day pregnancy life. This is thanks to the mind/body connection you are making.

Yoga makes you more aware of your body in general. The large amount of changes you go through in a nine-month time period begin to become more pronounced as your pregnancy continues. These changes can be as simple as feeling your baby move, feeling the life force that is growing in your womb, or even sensing what your baby needs before he or she has left the safety of the womb.

This connection gives you a strong bond with your growing baby both inside the womb and after the miracle of birth. That is because it makes you aware. Being aware is the best gift you could give yourself and your baby. It is a connection that will last you well into your child's life.

One easy technique to make this connection is by meditating. Meditation is relaxing and calming. It can aid you by preparing your mind for birth as you draw closer to your baby. Meditation can be as easy as focusing on your breathing or listening to a calming CD. And it is well worth your time.
