Prenatal Yoga- Posture to Prepare You for Labor

In your 3rd trimester it will benefit you to do yoga postures that will open up your pelvis in preparation for an easier labor.  A good posture to do is what I call the “modified squat” (see below). 

Modified Squat
*Place your feet approximately 3 1/2 feet apart.
*Place your hands on the floor shoulder width apart and slightly in front of your feet with your legs as straight as possible
*Inhale bend your knees to a deep squat and look up
*Exhale extend your legs as straight as possible
*Repeat 8-10 breathes

You can find this exercise on my prenatal yoga dvd for the 3rd trimester.  Click here to view: https://fitbysara.com/third-trimester-prenatal-workout-program.php
