Affirmation

Chakra

Solar Plexus (Manipura)

Yoga Posture

Downward Facing Dog – Ahdo Mukha Svanasana

This foundational pose will be found in most yoga classes, especially vinyasa. It is an important rest posture in our Sun Salutations, A and B. It stretches the hamstrings, lengthens spine, strengthens the shoulders, and more. Take all fours, table top, as a modification.

Recommended Yoga Class

This class is completely reclined, very relaxing if you need a quick 10 minute break! We will work into the hips, so if you are feeling any pain or pressure in the pelvic area, this class may offer you some relief. Some of these postures may help open the hips to prepare you for labor as well. Hip opening postures can also help energy flow through our sacral chakra, our womb space, our creation center. This energy center is where all of our creation (hello baby!) comes into play. This is also our emotional center, so please feel free to be in your feelings! We often hold emotions in our hips, so don’t be surprised if you feel some kind of way as the energy starts to flow!

**Every body, woman, practice, and pregnancy is different. If the suggested class for this week does not suit you this week for any reason, please feel free to look for a different one on my YouTube channel. Trust your body and listen to your birth team!
