Weekly Pregnancy/Baby Update

Diastasis recti, or abdominal muscle separation, is common in pregnancy. Later in the 4th trimester is a good time to begin easy core work to restore the core before extreme workouts or yoga practices.

Affirmation

I am emerging

Chakra

Heart (Anahata)

Philosophy Lesson

Heart Chakra

Yoga Posture

Bridge pose – Setubandha Sarvangasana

Bridge pose is a great core stabilizer and glute activator. Begin with bum on the mat and breathe to activate your deep core. Then lift to a bridge while squeezing the knees together. You can also place a block between the knees.

Recommended Yoga Class

Restorative yoga is full of props, long holds, and complete relaxation. I want you to think of this as part of an at-home spa day for yourself! This class takes no effort, we are fully relaxing all of our muscles and allowing the nervous system to relax and reset. Our bodies go through so much when we are pregnant and growing this new little life, so we need lots of rest! I don’t know about you, but I was exhausted for my entire pregnancy. I didn’t really get that second trimester energy boost so many people talk about! So I found myself lazing around, resting on my yoga mat, holding poses, and very often falling asleep in savasana. =P So settle in, relax, breathe, rest, enjoy =)

*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!
