yoga is just stretching

Anyway, I was just wondering what anyone else does for stretching? Or does anyone have anything that particularly works for them? This is the one the neuro mentioned: http://www.exrx.net/Stretches/Gastrocnemius/Wall.html. Basically I've just been doing various leg stretches and not for a real long time (maybe 10 breaths? for each stretch twice a day) Also does anybody do any kind of hand or finger stretches?

I'm not sure if you have On-Demand.. but there is a pre-natal yoga 15 exercise on there that is all about stretching ... May help out a lot.. It's helped me... Hope this helps...If not, just Google, safe pre-natal stretch routines....

Yoga is a fantastic way to stay active and healthy, but it's important to have the right equipment to help you perform your poses with ease and safety. One of the most essential items in your yoga kit is a non-slip yoga mat, which can help prevent slips and falls and provide better stability during your practice. Additionally, a yoga stretching strap can be an invaluable tool for deepening your stretches and improving your flexibility.

Unless your doctor says otherwise, activity including yoga is fine while pregnant. Just listen to your body.

I had my first... Super easy pregnancy, no sickness, very few aches or pains. The 2nd was born 5 yrs after, and I had so much hip pain. Now prego with my 3rd (the two little one will be 19 months apart :-0) my last two pregnancies I get sooo much hip pain, this time it started around 22 weeks (26 wks now). What REALLY helped was stretching (yoga) if you don't have time to do a full pregnancy yoga class (I just have a home DVD-no time for a class).

more often than not I have to force myself to yoga, because my muscles craves it. I do find stretching help easing the pain a bit. Most of all, I will have to do whatever slows down/stops muscle atrophy. Have you tried it?

I am required to do some specific stretching exercises by the doctor for my own health issues. I absolutely have to use a Yoga mat for this, because the floor is tile covered concrete. Akira likes the smell or something of the Yoga mat. But, she obviously enjoys getting in the middle of things when I'm doing these exercises. All I can do is laugh and give her lots of loves and pets.

I've been having a lot of these lately and forgot to ask my doctor what is the best way to relieve the pain, so I'm here to ask you guys. What is the best way for the stretched tendons to be less painful? I'm 17+2 and I go in next Thursday for my ultrasound to see what I'm having.

Do I feel good on the off days because of the stretching and exercise or do I feel good because the stretching and exercise is taken out of the equation? I hope you are all well and having a "good" day. FU MS!

No I haven't

And i talked to my ob about it and he said since im just home doing nothing i should tried yoga so he gave me this ad and it said gentle yoga and is also for high risk pregnancies but is $118 for like 1 or 2 sessions im not sure so then i found out that at the hospital they give classes too for free so they fax me this paper saying that even with my a dr note is not guarentee that is safe for me to exercise so that kind of threw me off.

I just started my third tri but since I found out I was pregnant I have done stretches as squats nearly every day, as the weather got warmer into my second I began to walk at least 3 times a week n started doing prenatal yoga for beginners but it makes me feel the best...I strongly suggest the yoga its great for repaxing n stretching and for a small amount of strengthening (if that's a word haha) I'm hoping all these things help when labor comes.

If pregnant yoga is OK then I don't see why stretching wouldn't be. I just wouldn't over do it. Listen to your body.

Hey Hun that is completely normal. Just means your body is growing. I'm having my 3rd child and I was having lots of pain in my ankles and my butt hurts sometimes too.

Does anyone else have HORRIBLE pains from ligaments stretching? For the past few days it has killed me whenever someone touches my stomach. I am almost 24 weeks.

I had something similar, they did an ultrasound on my legs. They discovered thst i have extremely little bloodflow to them causing thr pain. I suggest getting checked, especially since they can lead to bloodclots.

Stretching is okay and safe.

Ur body starts to produce a chemical called relaxin to soften joints so the baby can pass through. Some stretching will help. I do some yoga pregnancy poses-warrior pose, pigeon etc.

It happens to me as well, im 37 weeks today, best thing i can do is a warm bath and yoga stretching (prenatal yoga) try and stretch during the day or right before you go to bed....

You might try yoga. I do prenatal yoga and it's really helping with the aches and pains. Good to get a little stretching and strengthening, our bodies are working hard. Also helps with stress and worry overall; I look forward to going to class.

My opiate use was strictly for pleasure, I have never had chronic pain or back problems. Now that I have stopped opiates my back constantly hurts.

) it hurts but it is a good sign! I walk, if you have a yoga ball sit on it and do circles with ur pelvic people say to lightly bounce but i heard that is bad.

(AP) — A Southern Baptist leader who is calling for Christians to avoid yoga and its spiritual attachments is getting plenty of pushback from enthusiasts who defend the ancient practice. Southern Baptist Seminary President Albert Mohler says the stretching and meditative discipline derived from Eastern religions is not a Christian pathway to God. Mohler said he objects to "the idea that the body is a vehicle for reaching consciousness with the divine.
