Weekly Pregnancy/Baby Update

Baby’s lungs are beginning to prepare for outside world breathing! Most babies won’t be able to breathe on their own until around 28 weeks, but now they are in the saccular phase. This phase helps babies drain amniotic fluid once they are born.

Chakra

Heart (Anahata)

Yoga Posture

Upward facing dog – Urdhva Mukha Svanasana

From chaturanga to upward dog, open your heart and third eye up to the universe. Be mindful to not over stretch, see both variations here. Adapt as need be, listen to your body!

Recommended Yoga Class

So much is going on in our body during pregnancy. We don’t want this to get in the way of life of course – or our yoga practice! One of my aims here on this channel is to offer as many types of yoga as possible so that every pregnant person finds a class that suits their needs! So this class is for those suffering with pregnancy carpal tunnel, edema of the wrists (swelling), or general pain and achiness in the wrists and arms. We don’t need to shy away from our yoga practice if something is feeling off one day, we just need to adapt! This will be great practice for parenting!! This class is all standing postures, giving our arms, wrists, hands a break! We will have blocks for stability if you want to use them, listen to your body, but they are not necessary. Focus on your legs, the strength they provide and the grounding they bring.

*I am constantly updating recommended classes as I add more yoga classes to my YouTube library! Check back often for updates!

**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!
