Practicing yoga in the late trimester may lead to premature delivery of the fetus, so it is still a certain research when pregnant women can do yoga.
Some women are practicing yoga before they are pregnant. Since practicing yoga, they have been less sick. However, when they are found to be pregnant, they still have to stop practicing yoga, and they can’t do yoga exercises for the first three months.

It is not because these places are free to recommend to everyone, but because the movements of these yoga classes have been studied and are more suitable for patients to practice.
Common mistakes in yoga practice
1. Rhythmic breathing
In yoga practice, every move should be perfectly combined with breathing. For example, when you begin to practice the Sun Salutation movement, first inhale, raise your arms, then exhale, and slowly fold your arms forward.
Rhythmic breathing can make you get a sense of flow in yoga practice. This can not only make the practitioner feel calm in his heart, but also make his brain pay more attention to every movement, so as to avoid damage and improve his body balance.

In the process of practicing yoga, correct breathing requires not only drawing air into the chest area, but also feeling the expansion and adduction of ribs. In each breath, you can use your abdominal muscles to press your navel against your spine. As you inhale, fill your chest with air and keep your abdominal muscles flat. Using abdominal muscles in breathing can not only help you breathe correctly, but also protect your waist and avoid pain or injury.

You can make soup with carrots, celery, spinach and cabbage. After adding your favorite vegetables, add black pepper and ginger powder to taste. Homemade vegetable soup is certainly much better than buying ready-made ones. Cooked foods sold in supermarkets contain a lot of extra salt.
