During your pregnancy it’s common to experience a range of emotions from anxiety, irritability, to pure joy. The yoga breath is calming, centering, relaxing, and highly beneficial for keeping your emotions in balance. Try this simple breathing exercise below.
Balancing Breath
Seated comfortably (you may place pillows underneath you or sit in a chair), close your eyes and sit with your spine tall. Inhale a deep “complete breath” in through your nose and exhale the breath completely out of your lungs with your mouth closed. As you inhale imagine the breath rising to the top of your head, and as you exhale imagine the breath sinking to your tail bone. Repeat the breath a minimum of 8 times or as long as needed.
