Скачать или смотреть Pregnancy yoga- Standing squat pose

This video shows you how to do the modified standing squat pose in pregnancy.

Remember to move into and out of positions smoothly. Don't push yourself. Stop if at any time you feel strained, tired or in pain.

Consider these tips to ensure you do this exercise safely and comfortably:
Do not do this exercise if you have haemorrhoids or piles.

Hormone changes and the weight of your womb can weaken your pelvic floor. To support and strengthen it, draw up your pelvic floor muscles when moving into or out of standing poses.
*Your centre of gravity changes as your baby bump gets bigger. This can make you more prone to falling. If you feel clumsy or off balance, do this exercise against a wall. Also have a chair within reach so that if at any time you lose your balance, you can catch it for support before falling.
Focus on a point on the wall or floor in front of you to help you balance.
