I think there's nothing more painful than playing goalie and being smacked on the gonads with a ball coming it at you at the speed of a meteor dropping from space, but I'm guessing every woman will say, yeah well try pushing a water melon out your...
I get it - I'm a guy and know nothing about pregnancy, pre or post!
The point is the same.
It's pain and that's where I reckon the benefits of chair yoga can help.
There's three pivotal elements chair yoga focuses on:
- Stretching
- Breathing
- Relaxation
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that all those three aspects outlined above could be of use to you.
Am I on the right tracks?
Stretching for sure is going to help as it strengthens your back. Before the little one arrives, there's a ton of stuff needs lifting and moved around.
Hopefully, you've a partner that'll do the super heavy stuff like building all the nursery furniture, installing safety gates, child proofing the home etc.
If you haven't, I'd imagine you'll have a friend or someone in your family who can help you do those labor intensive things.
Later on, carrying the baby, for sure is going to add strain to your joints.
Depending on your body, you might be slim with the tiniest of bumps, or you could blow up like a balloon.
Either way, I'd expect your joints will be under more stress from carrying the added weight.
Chair yoga lets you adapt the Hatha Yoga poses, letting you stretch and flex your joints, improving strength throughout your body.
That's going to carry on into your post pregnancy too, as that's when you'll have more pain and problems.
Where I reckon chair yoga benefits are for the best part anyway is the breathing techniques. Mastering the way you breathe in a way that helps you to relax is difficult to do under normal circumstances.
I suppose when your labor comes around, it's going to be handy to have some discipline on your breathing.
Inhaling and exhaling through your nose seems to have a bearing on pain. For those who practice chair yoga regularly, they do find that it helps tremendously with pain management.
When you can reduce pain, you'll be able to relax so much better, and that is where the greatest benefits of chair yoga are found.
The uncanny ability to relax the body and mind even under extreme circumstances.
