Mom And Baby Yoga Sequence
Pregnancy is an amazing time in a woman’s life. Her body is changing and growing to accommodate a new life. Her mind is preparing for the journey ahead. Her emotions are all over the place. Yoga can help her through all of these changes.
A prenatal yoga sequence can help to open the hips, increase the flexibility in the spine, and improve the circulation. It can also help to prepare the body for labor and delivery. The following sequence can be done by pregnant women at any stage of their pregnancy.
Pregnant women should always consult with their doctor before starting a yoga practice.
