Prenatal Yoga vs Postnatal Yoga

Recognizing the difference between Practice and Purpose.

divider

Although similar, prenatal yoga and postnatal yoga have different goals, and different methods, and it's important to know this difference to teach both safely and effectively.

Prenatal Yoga emphasizes helping women through their pregnancy period by making sure that all yoga practices are modified, so as to allow for the different physical, hormonal and emotional changes that occur in each trimester. The focus is on relaxing and safe movement, mindful breathing, deep relaxation and mental peace. Prenatal yoga can support the body and mind for the actual experience of childbirth, decrease typical discomforts during pregnancy, manage stress and anxiety, and cultivate a mindful and loving relationship between mother and baby.

Postnatal Yoga means a change in focus from birth to recovery and restoration. It's designed to meet the actual physical and emotional needs of the postpartum period; rebuilding core and pelvic floor strength, correcting posture, releasing accumulated tension and aiding hormonal and emotional balance. Postnatal yoga can also assist the new mother to deal with the fatigue, the emotional challenge of the early motherhood such as mood changes and slowly recondition her energy, confidence and feeling of herself in this significant transition.
