Yoga; maternity yoga

I never had a blog, and this is my very first blog post in my whole life.
I had some time to think what to write on my first post and decided to talk about what I care for the most recently.

Yoga.

I started my first yoga when I was pregnant.
I wanted to exercise to make perfect natural delivery when it's time.  My doctor recommended yoga, and there was one place where taught maternity yoga near my house.  It was little pricey for my budget, but I felt like I had to do it.
Starting yoga twice a week was not hard for this pregnant lady.  I actually really enjoyed meditating and building internal connection with my baby before she was born.

Maternity yoga is not too much different than any other yoga.  It also requires strength, flexibility, and balance.  Just for your safety, it's good to have a chair and blocks for support.

There are certain poses that were not recommended;
deep twist, back bend, and some other poses that needs ab strength.  No hot yoga.

I guess it was a couple weeks before delivery.  I had huge belly and she came in 8.9lb

There were lots hormone attacks during pregnancy, and yoga really helped me a lot to go through it.  It helped to get my anxiety away often.  I was one of the best yoga student in maternity class, and I was so excited to have perfect deliver.  Unfortunately, my cervix didn't open enough and I ended up having C-section.  I guess yoga helps during your pregnancy, but it's not a total solution to have a perfect natural delivery.

Since I was a new mom who doesn't know how to care a baby. I have too many conflicts.
I completely was away from yoga for almost a year and a half and I needed something to get it over with before I comoletely crash emotionally.  I restarted yoga.
I still struggle sometimes and now yoga helps me a lot to go through it again.


I started to write without knowing what really to write and I just did.
It's not a perfect blog post but I will write something better next time.
