Regular practice of yoga help to support and nurture mother during the stages of pregnancy.

*Yin/Svaroopa Style Yoga with Deidre
This is a restorative practice of long, passively held floor poses with gentle guiding assists. It is deeply nourishing and has myriad benefits for any yoga practitioner. On a physical level, this practice enhances the natural range of motion in the joints. By keeping your muscles soft, you release deep layers of connective tissue, creating more ease in any style of yoga and in seated meditation. On an energetic level, this practice enhances the flow of prana (life force) in the tissues around the joints, where energy often stagnates. the practice is like doing an acupuncture session on yourself: Sequences are often geared toward strengthening certain energy channels (called nadis in yoga or meridians in Chinese medicine), which ultimately support the organs, immune system, and emotional well-being. And then there are the mental benefits: Holding poses for three to five minutes often brings up discomfort. This practice conditions you to stay with the intense sensations that arise, rather than quickly moving into the next pose.It trains you to become more comfortable with discomfort instead of becoming alarmed, It marries meditation and asana into a very deep practice.All that and you don’t have to trade in your dynamic practice to reap the benefits.I recommend a restorative session at least two times a week. You’re conditioning the tissues to become more elastic, so practicing has a cumulative effect,The more you do it, the more you’ll want it.
