Yoga for Pregnant Women

Pregnancy is a unique and transformative time, both physically and emotionally. Yoga offers a gentle, yet powerful, way to support women during this important phase of life. Practicing yoga during pregnancy helps improve flexibility, strength, and balance, while also promoting relaxation and emotional well-being.

Prenatal yoga focuses on postures and breathing techniques that are specifically designed to support the changing body of a pregnant woman. It helps alleviate common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and fatigue, while also reducing stress and anxiety. Yoga encourages deep breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques, which can help manage the physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy, as well as prepare for labor and delivery.

By practicing yoga, expecting mothers can increase their body awareness, connect with their growing baby, and foster a sense of calm and empowerment. It is a safe and supportive way to strengthen both the body and mind, making it an essential practice for women during pregnancy.

At Sage House Yoga, we believe that prenatal yoga is much more than just physical exercises. It also includes breathing techniques, meditation, and chanting. These practices help bring relaxation, emotional balance, and prepare women for the important journey of becoming a mother.

I followed a two day retreat with Sage House in November 2023. We started our mornings with a Hatha yoga class, made a very fun excursion to a waterfall, did an afternoon class at the ghat, and even had a short sound healing session. Ankit made sure to take a lot of photos of us during our practice, so now I have many beautiful memories to look back at.Ankit and Rohit are very talented teachers and above all they are both lovely people. Unfortunately the meditation teacher was ill so I did not have a chance to meet them, but I am confident that all teachers who teach here are excellent.The accommodation was very modern. I stayed in a spacious private cottage which had all amenities from a kettle to a TV. In the evenings there was a cozy bonfire in the garden to sit around and chat. The atmosphere of the accommodation is quite lively with many guests enjoying the garden and the nearby restaurant until late at night. I even got to watch a pre-wedding movie shoot from my doorstep :)All in all if you’re looking for a fun and modern yoga retreat experience with amazing teachers, Sage House is a good choice.
