Malasana Pose For Labor & Birth
Malasana is called Garland Pose in English, and is also known as squatting. Malasana Pose can make your labor and birth less painful. During pregnancy, squatting can improve your flexibility, ease back pain, decrease constipation, strengthen your legs and back, and train you for good body mechanics when lifting.
Wall Squats - To get your body accustomed to practising Malasana Pose, place your back against a wall for support.

Strengthening Exercises Prevent Prenatal Low Back Pain
Back pain can be prevented by being as fit
as possible before you become pregnant. There are several prenatal exercises, and Yoga poses that help prevent, and relieve low back pain. If you have no experience with exercise, you can still benefit, by starting Yoga in your early stages, and maintaining a routine throughout your pregnancy.
Standing Pelvic Tilts - This simple exercise helps to prevent low back ache, and improves posture during pregnancy.
Pelvic Tilts stretch the low back, and strengthen the abdominals. In the early stages of pregnancy, pelvic tilts can be done while lying on your back.
Table Pose Leg Raise - This all fours Yoga pose helps strengthen low back and buttock muscles.
Kegels - This pelvic floor exercise strengthens the muscles that facilitate labor. These simple exercises, along with abdominal strenthe
ning, help to reduce the strain of pregnancy on your back.Abdominals - Strengthening the abdominal muscles helps to maintain good posture, and prevent low back ache. Abdominal exercises are performed according to level of ability, and previous experience.
Modified abdominal exercises are performed leaning back on pillows, in a seated position. Abs may also be done by drawing the navel back toward the spine. Standing Pelvic Tilts also work the abdominals, and are easier to do.
Wall Squats - Thigh, buttock, and hamstring muscles are strengthened while performing squats with your back against a wall.
Chair Pose - This is a standing squat, and will strengthen your legs, low back, buttocks, and shoulders.
Start Anytime During Your Pregnancy and Continue Right Up To The End
Yoga For Maternity is suitable for beginners or experienced. Dancers also benefit from the gentle, non-competitive nature of Hatha Yoga.
