Mostly for safety- like Highwire mentioned, but also the poses help you focus more on connecting with the baby and making sure you're increasing circulation to the midsection. I find that it's helpful to have an instructor reminding me not to put pressure on the abdomen in certain poses, etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable making the modifications totally on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regular-yoga-vs-prenatal-yoga-classes#post-318286 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:53:22 +0000 SweetMamaM 318286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested to know more about the differences too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regular-yoga-vs-prenatal-yoga-classes#post-318228 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:13:35 +0000 DillonLion 318228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a variety of yoga poses that aren't safe during pregnancy (twists, laying on you back after X weeks, etc) I've done many different styles of yoga, including prenatal. I like the prenantal clases because it is a full clas swhere I don't have to make any modifications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regular-yoga-vs-prenatal-yoga-classes#post-318222 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:11:30 +0000 shopaholic 318222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone taken Prenatal Yoga classes? I already belong to 24hr Fitness and wonder how different the Prenatal Yoga classes really are? I think I'm going to buy a package for 5 classes at a yoga studio to try out the Prenatal Yoga (and try to make some mommy friends) but it seems just like an additional expense. </p> <p>Could you do a lot in the normal yoga classes with just a few modifications do you think? </p>
