Today, we are going to talk about something very special that happens when a mother-to-be takes a deep, loving breath. You see, in the beautiful journey of pregnancy, both the mother and the baby share many things, and breath is one of the most important ones. Through the principles of Scientific Garbhsanskar, we learn that taking good care of both the baby and the mother is about more than just eating well; it’s also about breathing well. Let’s find out how!
What is Pranayama?
Pranayama is like a best friend to everyone who practices yoga. It is all about learning to breathe in a way that fills our body and mind with fresh energy and calmness. When a mother-to-be practices Pranayama, it becomes a special part of pregnancy care, helping to take care of the baby even before they are born.
Why is Breath So Important During Pregnancy?
Breathing well means taking in good amounts of oxygen, which is like invisible food for our bodies. For a pregnant lady, oxygen is like a wonderful gift that she gives to her baby every moment of every day. When a mother practices Pranayama, it helps the oxygen reach the baby properly, helping the baby to grow well and keeping the mother healthy and happy.
