I’ve always said that pregnancy is a wondrous journey. It’s rattled with joy, fear, wonder and excitement. Below are some breathing and movement exercises to help you manage through each passing wave. Check out some simple flows that you can do in your living room to help ground you!

  • Stack your ears over your shoulders, shoulders over your hips, hips over your heels.
  • Root all four corners of your feet into the mat.
  • Place your hands on your hips.
  • On your next inhale, draw your sit bones back, attempting to keep your knees stacked over your heels, settling into chair pose.
  • Lift your heels, while keeping your heart lifted and your shoulders settled down and away from your earls.
