Is The Pregnancy Yoga Eagle Pose Beneficial For Your Health?

By Sam Milner


Would you like to join prenatal yoga classes? Is this practice safe during pregnancy? Millions of women from all over the world have discovered the benefits of prenatal yoga. This ancient form of exercise reduces back pain, improves balance, and tones the muscles. It can be practiced even by those with low back pain, asthma and sciatica. Pregnancy yoga supports emotional well-being and prepares your body your motherhood.

One of the best asanas for expectant moms is the pregnancy yoga eagle pose. This simple exercise stretches blood vessels and makes them stronger. It also reduces tension in the upper back and shoulders, increases flexibility, and improves focus. Also known as garudasana, the pregnancy yoga eagle pose supplies fresh blood to the reproductive system and improves your balance.

This asana is named after the mythological Hindu "king of the birds" - Garuda. This word means "eagle" in Sanskrit. Numerous studies have found that the eagle pose increases blood flow to the reproductive organs and creates space between the shoulder blades. People who are suffering from back pain or asthma can practice this exercise too.

To practice this asana, stand in mountain pose (tadasana). Put your weight on the right foot and cross your left thigh over your right. Bend your knees. Lift your arms and wrap your left elbow over the right. Keep wrapping your arms until the palms come together. Hold for up to one minute. Repeat on the other side. If you're a beginner, rest your backside on a wall.

Regular practice of this pose will strengthen your knees, legs, and ankles. The pregnancy yoga eagle pose opens the pelvic area and increases breathing capacity. If you suffer from inner ear problems, headaches, or high blood pressure, practice this pose against a wall.
