Practicing
yoga during pregnancy is the ideal way to keep your changing body strong, supple and relaxed during this special time.
This full colour, double sided A3 chart is designed to be used as part of a home yoga practice. The clear images and detailed instructions will help you create a routine that will improve your posture, ease aches and tension as well as giving you time and space to relax with your baby. The routine can also be modified in length or for the changes happening within your body.
If you already attend a
pregnancy yoga class, using the chart at home will help you to remember the poses.
The sections covered include
* Using the breath to become present with your baby.
* Kneeling poses to improve circulation in the legs and flexibility in the shoulders.
* Standing poses to strengthen the legs and open the hips and chest.
* Forward bends to soothe the nervous system and release the lower back.
* Balancing poses to improve stability and calm the mind.
* Seated poses to stretch the back and legs and open the hips.
* Relaxation - deeply soothing and nourishing for the mind and body.
NB: As with any exercise program during pregnancy, it is best to check with your LMC before proceeding.
