Prenatal Yoga Flow: 8 Yoga Poses for Pregnancy

These 8 prenatal yoga poses will help you strengthen and tone during all three trimesters, while also stretching the tight muscles associated pregnancy. Grab your yoga mat and yoga block if you have one, you can always substitute a large book or stack of books for the yoga block. Start in a table top position and complete the hip circles and extended goddess on both sides of the body{right and left}. Then flow through the next six exercises on the right side of the body, once complete, repeat the six exercises on the left side of the body. You can hold each pose as long as you like and move through as many repetitions as feels good, yet challenging; I suggest 12-20 repetitions per exercises on each side of the body and holding the wide squat for 30-60 seconds. You want to feel lots of heat building in your muscles as you increase repetitions. Repeat the entire flow as many rounds as you’d like, I suggest 12-15 repetitions per exercise x 3 sets.
