Eco Pregnancy and Baby

Here’s a mini pregnancy yoga routine with three standing poses you can do anywhere, from the DVD YOGAFIT Prenatal: A YOGAFIT Wokout. Begin each posture in mountain pose (standing with feet slightly wider than your hips and arms at your sides). Listen to your body – discontinue any movement that causes you discomfort right away.

Pose 1: Rocking

• Slowly move your chest to the right, then to the left, gently swinging your arms in a comfortable range of motion.
• Visualize your baby gently rocking in your womb as you rock back and forth.
• Feel your energy rise with your movement, releasing tension and fatigue from your face, mind and body.

Pose 2: Pelvic Circles

• Circle your hips to the right, inhaling as your hips circle back and exhaling as your hips circle to the front.
• Reverse the direction.
• Visualize your energy and strength expanding around your pelvis.

Pose 3: Standing Cat Cow

• Place your hands on your thighs, fingertips facing each other. Inhale as you arch your spine, allowing your belly to lengthen forward.
• Exhale as you round your spine up like a cat. Use your arms to support the pose, and keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears.
• Feel the gentle stretch in your back.
