Asanas practiced during pregnancy are designed to keep the expectant mother healthy, avoiding much of the usual discomfort associated with pregnancy (vomiting, morning sickness, constipation, swelling, headache, and so on). Asanas aid in proper digestion, circulation, and facilitate easy breathing. Prenatal asanas have been carefully selected to ensure that the baby is given maximum room for its free movement and growth in the mother’s womb. They have also been chosen with the goal of facilitating a natural and easy delivery.

These postures are modified versions of the classical ones, specially adapted to pregnancy. To facilitate easy delivery, some asanas may be practiced even until late in pregnancy. This strengthens the abdomen. The whole nervous system becomes relaxed. Pranayama (breath control) during pregnancy is mainly intended to remove fatigue, nervous tension and to eliminate toxins. The baby will particularly enjoy it, since it gives it more space in the womb. Very often, the baby moves while mum is doing pranayama!
