![]() One of my favorite poses! Ankle to knee opens up the hips, stretches the inner and outer thighs, and strengthens the pelvic floor. As an expecting mom it’s challenging not to be anxious or thinking about the future. Try doing tree to get focused and also gather your thoughts and worries in to one place and release them through the breath. When we are frazzled and all over the place, it zaps our energy. Every time we focus our mind, it helps increase our energy. Tree helps with concentration, balance, and stability. Sumo squat especially strengthens the inner thighs, hips and pelvic floor. Squats are also great to practice as expecting moms since they prepare the body for labor and delivery. Squats are great for boosting energy and getting the heart rate up. Extended angle tones the legs and buttocks, and lengthens the entire body. Stretches the sides and waist, which allows for more breath in the body immediately waking everything up. ![]() Warrior OneĪ great pose for boosting energy, Warrior 1 strengthens the legs, gives moms confidence, opens up the hip flexors and entire front body. It warms up the spine, is great for the pelvic floor and abdominals, and feels good on the back. If you’re expecting and also battling fatigue, this morning prenatal yoga routine will help you perk up and feel great throughout the day. I’m sure it’s due to having two inside of me and also having a toddler to look after. ![]() I have to admit, though, this time around I have a lot more fatigue. With my first son, Timothy, I was doing headstands up until a few days before he was born. my belly is too big, I’m exhausted, I need to eat again - it’s always the best thing I do for myself if I just get in a few stretches and connect with my breath. I love yoga, so even though I have so many reasons not to get on my mat - e.g. I am so excited and I truly do love being pregnant. I'm currently in my 5th month of pregnancy, and I have twin boys due around December 15th.
