Weekly Pregnancy/Baby Update

Baby is the size of a grape and moving already, though you won’t be able to feel it for a while. Your body does a lot of work in the first trimester, the baby doubling in size regularly. So your fatigue is valid!

Affirmation

I am calm

Chakra

Sacral (Svadhisthana)

Philosophy Lesson

Vijnanamayakosha

Yoga Posture

Janusirsasana – Head-to-Knee Pose

This posture stretches the hamstring, inner thighs, hips, side body, and lower back. This is a favorite for relieving lower back pain for pregnancy! Try folding over the extended leg, or straight out between the legs.

Recommended Yoga Class

We all know how pregnancy can sneak up on you sometimes. A hormone surprise, a bout of tears, some heartburn, that exhaustion though! And how about some of the more rare occurrences – pregnancy rhinitis (no thank you!) and pregnancy carpal tunnel!? I suffered from this one friend, it’s no fun. Or you may be glowing in the bliss of your baby growing in that womb! However you are showing up today, this gentle 20 minute practice will meet you where you are! As always, do what feels good to you, leave the rest, and adapt where needed. be. Listen to your body! You and baby know best.
