Yoga in pregnancy: the benefits

Learn to manage your body, reduce stress, maintain a good mental and physical balance. Many positive aspects that yoga has on our body, known since ancient times. In the case of pregnant women, the main advantages of yoga are:

• Helps the woman to stay active, with beneficial effects on mood;

By opening up to self-listening, yoga accompanies the expectant mother to better face the typical bodily changes of this phase, increasing perceived well-being.
