Yoga practice during pregnancy may enhance the pregnancy experience and contribute to a shorter,
more physicologic labor and a decreased likelihood of operative intervention, including cesarean section
and operative vaginal delivery (forceps and vacuum). Because of the physiologic changes during pregnancy
and the alteration of the normal anatomy, care must be exercised when teaching yoga to pregnant patients.
In this course we will review basic physiologic and anatomical changes in pregnancy that mandate an
alternative approach to the usual yoga practice. Participants will learn which postures to avoid in each
of the three trimesters and will become aware of the usual postures which need to be modified because
of the changes that occur as pregnancy progresses. Postures that enhance the opportunity of normal
vaginal delivery will be emphasized and a routine yoga practice for pregnant patients will be
emphasized. Teachers of yoga will become more comfortable with instructing pregnant patients to
enjoy yoga during this wonderful time of their lives 15 contact hours for nurses.
