If you’re expecting a baby, you may be wondering how to incorporate yoga into your pregnancy. Practicing yoga during pregnancy has many benefits - it can help to reduce stress and boost energy levels, as well as improve strength and flexibility. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the top 10 tips for practicing yoga while pregnant, so you can make the most of your prenatal yoga practice.
1) Get the all-clear from your GP before you start
It's important to check with your GP or midwife before beginning any exercise routine while pregnant, especially when it comes to yoga. This is because the postures and breathing exercises that makeup yoga can have different effects depending on the individual. Having a medical professional's opinion will ensure you're engaging in safe, beneficial practices. Speak to your healthcare provider about any potential risks so you can make an informed decision about practicing yoga during pregnancy.
2) Join a class led by a qualified teacher
Attending a yoga class led by a qualified instructor is one of the best ways to practice yoga safely during pregnancy. A good instructor can show you how to modify poses and make sure that your practice is tailored to the changes happening in your body. An experienced yoga instructor will know what is safe and beneficial for pregnant women and can make adjustments to the class accordingly. Practicing with an experienced instructor will also help to keep you motivated, encouraged and supported throughout your pregnancy.
3) Listen to your body
Prenatal yoga classes are a great way to learn which poses are safe during pregnancy. While practicing yoga, be sure to pay attention to your body's cues. If a pose is causing discomfort or pain, stop immediately and adjust your position or switch to a different pose. When listening to your body, it's best to opt for gentler movements and take regular breaks. Avoid holding poses for too long, as this can increase your risk of injury. Finally, ensure that you get the all-clear from your doctor before starting any prenatal yoga classes.
4) Drink plenty of water
Staying hydrated is especially important when practicing yoga during pregnancy. Make sure to drink water before, during and after your practice to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid caffeinated drinks and sugary juices as they can contribute to dehydration. Keeping a bottle of water on hand and sipping throughout your practice can help ensure that you stay hydrated throughout your session.
5) Avoid hot yoga
When practicing yoga during pregnancy, it's important to avoid hot yoga or any class with high temperatures. Pregnant women are more sensitive to heat and can overheat quickly, which can cause problems for the baby. Instead, opt for classes in a well-ventilated space with a comfortable temperature that won't cause you to sweat too much. This will help keep you and your baby safe and comfortable while you practice.
6) Don't push yourself
If you're new to yoga, or pregnant, it's important to take things slowly and not push yourself too hard. Modify poses as necessary, and listen to your body
7) Modify poses as necessary
If a pose doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to modify it. Listen to your body and make whatever adjustments you need to in order to feel comfortable.
8) Use props
Props can be very helpful when practicing yoga during pregnancy. For example, using a yoga block can help you maintain proper alignment in certain poses.
9) Focus on your breath
Breathing is an important part of yoga, and it can be especially helpful during pregnancy. Taking deep, cleansing breaths can help you relax and focus.
10) Relax and enjoy!
Pregnancy is a time to relax and enjoy your body. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to do Advanced poses or to be perfect. Just focus on enjoying the experience and connecting with your baby.

Guide to produce Vermicompost – Bharatvarsh Nature Farms
With the globe becoming more environmentally aware, and everything from agriculture to agriculture and gardening experiencing a significant renaissance, compost reigns supreme.
However, you are not required to work alone. With the aid of some wriggly little buddies, you can create a final product that is highly effective and pocket friendly, as well as healthier and ecologically beneficial for plants!
What is Vermicompost?
Vermicomposting is the process of composting in which particular earthworm species are utilized to improve the organic waste conversion process and provide a better final product. Vermicomposting produces organic fertilizer from decaying food and vegetable waste, bedding materials, and worm castings. Vermicompost benefits include soil enrichment, increased harvest yields, and plant disease suppression.
Why would you want to vermicompost?
Vermicompost is excellent manure for organic agriculture since it is nutrient-dense and includes:
High-quality humus.
Plant growth hormones.
Enzymes.
Nutrients that help in growth and protect crops from pests and diseases.
Even though organic farming has produced excellent outcomes,people still have the wrong notion that chemical fertilizer leads to increased productivity. According to studies, the plant roots quickly absorb the nutrients from earthworm compost. Vermicompost cannot be flushed from the soil as soon as chemical fertilizers,due to the presence of worm mucus. Most crucial advantage is that plants have more time to absorb and benefit from nutrients present in vermicompost.
Why is vermicompost high in demand?
The worldwide vermicompost market is primarily driven by rising demand for organic products and therefore resulting into rising interest in organic cultivation. Other than the requirement in farming, there is a demand for home gardening, landscaping, golf courses, compost tea production, and selling. The growing demand for vermicompost from private labs, colleges, and high schools for research and teaching is also fueling this market’s global expansion.
This is my watermelon and armenian cucumber patch, I totally forgot exactly how much both these plants give ground cover. This was probably two weeks ago, it's doubled since.
It's also got melons growing!!
Like this lil one! Honestly I planted probably 4 varieties. A large melon, some cantaloupe, honeydew and some personal melons. I'm not entirely sure what all has sprouted and grown but whatever grows we'll be saving the seed :)
I had to pick one of the melons, see that black stuff on the end? It's likely blossom end rot.
What causes blossom end rot? Its usually a lack of calcium. But it can also be caused by not having a regular watering schedule (which to be fair could be so. I haven't been good with my morning watering schedule due to some stuff happening. But they currently get 30 minutes minimal daily. And soil looks good on moisture content.)
Either way, if it's a watering issue then the solution might be as easy as setting up a regular auto watering cycle. I'm leaning more towards it being calcium problems currently though as I haven't refreshed the manure/compost this season yet and where I'm at fertilizing twice a year is highly suggested.
When you find blossom end rot it's best to remove all the damaged fruit as early as possible. While doing that check your soil medium. Is it soggy or have a lot of water retention? Then you've got waaay too much water. The soil should be moist but not soggy and it's a good idea to be sure the vines and fruit are not in standing water. Some folks like to make mounds like with pumpkins and plant their melons in the center so water flows down and out. If you can't do that see about putting a net or trellis out to keep your melons and vines off the ground (melons do great trellising upwards too! Be sure to use scrap fabric or pantyhose to keep your melons supported.) If it's good moisture chances are it's a nutrient problem.
For me I think it's a nutrient problem, so I'm trying out a method of calcium amending to see if it helps. A good way to avoid it is to seed start your melons (I direct seeded this year so I could not take my own advice lol) when it's time to transplant take a handful of tums, crush em up and put a bit of the powder in the bottom of each hole you dig and then place your transplant inside. Water and let it grow.
☆☆☆☆EDIT TO ADD!!!! ☆☆☆☆
I can not at this time suggest or endorse using tums for calcium purposes, I want to do some experiments with this. I'm not sure if I used too much calcium or if something else happened but the day after I poured my calcium water in the garden almost all of my calcium plants seemed to wither up. I am off to check them today now to see if they are still looking not great. If so they will be pulled and another update to come later.
☆☆☆☆☆end of edit☆☆☆☆
Since I direct seeded I can't exactly do that, so I just took some tums, crushed em to a fine powder. Mixed it with water and poured this water around the base of my melon plants. I'll do this again in a few days probably about 3 times? I'm kinda guessing at the moment. 🤷♀️ but that's part of the fun of farming, gardening and homesteading is figuring out what works best.
Btw this is what the inside looked like of that blossom rot melon, it didn't get wasted either, the chickens are digging this produce as a nice cool treat~
Utilizing composted chicken manure contributes to soil health by enhancing organic content and improving water retention. Additionally, it serves as an excellent fertilizer, supplying essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to support the growth of your plants. Watch this video for a demonstration on using this natural fertilizer to nourish your plants!
