Prenatal Yoga reminds me of how I always hope to practice yoga. Any goal of posture is completely out. We’re free to be in a space of yoga.
Prenatal yoga is not only a typically safe and healthy way to exercise and relax during pregnancy, but it is also a unique time in a woman’s life when it is nearly impossible to ignore the messages of her body. I’ve often in the past disregarded the messages of the body and let my own agendas about being fit, exercising, and doing advanced asanas plow through and against the current of what feels right. The mind conversation takes the lead over the body, and rather than merging, they’re arguing. I remember feeling blessed and so tuned-in when I began to surrender these beliefs and listen to body messages while being pregnant. The body is a piece of the universe – it is tuned-in to universal wisdom. It has the potential to tap us in. It can be a source of infinite now-ness and spark.
