There are many important factors to take into account when choosing to learn prenatal yoga.
The safest way is to take a yoga class designed for pregnant women (prenatal yoga). It is important you look for classes taught by a certified prenatal yoga instructor, as they are familiar with the specific poses to avoid and which ones to focus on.

There are many benefits to prenatal yoga including:
* Improved sleep
* Reduced stress
* Increased strength, flexibility and endurance
* Decreased lower back pain
* Decreased nausea
* Decreased carpal tunnel syndrome
* Decreased headaches
* Reduced risk of preterm labor
* Lowered risk of intrauterine growth restriction (condition that slows the baby’s growth)

In addition to the benefits listed, studies have found there is a relationship between prenatal yoga and the reduction of hypertension-related complications, as well as, improvement of fetal outcome.
