pregnancy yoga
did you find yoga beneficial during your pregnancy?
HI, I am 24 wks pregnant with my second child…with my first pregnancy I didn’t do any exercise but walking a lot, and I had a TON of back pain, so I decided to order this “pregnancy yoga” DVD (since I dont live near a gym that offers classes) and it says on the dvd that it is beneficial to prevent excess weight gain, to help ease in labour and delivery and help get your body back sooner after baby. I have done the 30 min dvd a few times, and I feel all nice and stretched after, and I did work up a little sweat, but I am just wondering if it really does what it says! Has any of you pregnant Mom’s done Yoga through your pregnancy, and do you feel it helped you?? Just curious! Also did you do it EVERYday, or every other?? THANKS!
I did yoga before and during my last pregnancy. I think it definitely helped ease my discomfort and make me more flexible and limber, it strengthened my core muscles and improved my terrible pregnancy posture. 
I also found the focusing on breathing and the meditative aspects to be very beneficial, and it helped during labor, which I managed to do naturally which I had never done with my previous pregnancies. I tried to do it everyday if I could, at least do a couple of poses if not a full session.
