For a lot of people, pregnancy can feel like a roller coaster ride. Fluctuating hormones, mood swings, a rapidly changing body. This can make it difficult to find balance and calm.
Practice prenatal yoga in any trimester to help you find both physical and emotional balance that will help you flow with life and adapt to whatever comes your way throughout the rest of your pregnancy and during the birth.
We will start this prenatal series in virasana, or hero’s pose, and then move through some stretching to wake up the body. After that we’ll get on our feet for some standing poses that will strengthen and stretch the legs and create a stable base for flowing movement. Finally we will come back to the ground for more stretching of the hips and legs, and most importantly for relaxation.
PROPS: try to place a blanket and pillow nearby and get yourself a block if you have one at home. (optional)
Make sure you flow with your own pace, moving with the rhythm of your own breath. Take breaks when you need them, coming into child’s pose or lying down on your left side.
And before getting started with prenatal yoga, please check with your doctor to make sure that it is right for you.
