Yoga Exercise
Yoga Asanas or exercises are ways of moving or holding the body in different positions.
Yoga has several exercises or postures that work wonders on a woman�s health and in pregnancy conditions. Varying widely in application and style, these exercises (postures) gently stretch and explore all parts of your body.
During pregnancy, yoga Asanas are a gentle way to keep active and supple. The remarkable effects of these postures in pregnancy show the power of yoga for ensuring a smooth pregnancy, natural childbirth and restoration of body shape after childbirth.

However, it is recommended that you follow these under expert guidance or take the benefit of a book such as Women�s health and pregnancy which literally guides you by the hand and teaches you pictographically how to use these asanas in conjunction with pranayamas, meditation and relaxation techniques.
