Yoga classes can help people gain control of their thoughts and shutout unnecessary stress. Because there is a certain amount of focus needed for each pose, moms can clear their minds of baby matters and focus on their body positions on their mats.

Many classes encompass important elements of meditation and breathing into their routines. Meditation can help reduce your heart rate and blood pressure, and adopting new breathing patterns can help you feel less overwhelmed.
