Скачать или смотреть Second Trimester Stretch & Break Work Exercise

Disclaimer: I am NOT a yogi and don't pretend to be! These moves are some of which I learned while going through my certification. I wanted to incorporate them into this program to allow you to have a slower workout that allows you to shut off your mind and just think about connecting with your baby and belly. I suggest going through the video just once or twice so you remember what the moves are, then completing it on your own after that. That will allow you to not have any voices, noises, etc, and just be able to shut everything off.

Child’s Pose: stretches lower back and hips, invites ease—9 slow, deep breath focusing on the inhalation and the exhalation being equal in length

Cat & Cow: warms the abs, TVA, and lower back—3 rounds inhaling as you gaze up, exhaling as you round the spine

Down Dog Pose: lower back, hamstrings, calves—5 slow, deep breaths

Puppy Pose: lower back, thighs—5 deep breaths

Half Sun Salutation: shoulders, core strength, flexibility—3 rounds; remember that each movement corresponds to an inhalation or exhalation

Tree Pose: strengthens the stabilizers of the standing leg and external rotators of the lifted leg’s hip—5 deep breaths each side

Garland Pose: hip and ankles—9 deep breaths

Pigeon Pose: outer hip, lower back—9 deep breaths on each side; try to get lower down in the pose with each exhale
