• Reduces pain in labor
• Shortens labor

How Does Prenatal Yoga Shorten Labor and Reduce Labor Pain?

1. Breath awareness and tuning into one’s body releases tension, and transforms the laboring mother’s perception of pain.
2. Prenatal Yoga movements combined with breathing increase circulating endorphins and serotonin.
3. Practicing prenatal yoga postures over time stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, decreasing one’s need to actively respond to unpleasant physical sensations.
4. Prenatal yoga strategies that help women prepare emotionally and physically for labor may help reduce pain and suffering and optimize wellbeing in childbirth by providing coping skills and increasing self-confidence and a sense of mastery.
