Prenatal yoga is an excellent form of exercise and will help prepare you for your labor. Certain postures such as “butterfly” reduces muscle tension in the hips and buttocks and opens the pelvis. Try this simple posture in the comforts of your own home.
Butterfly
Seated bring the soles of your feet together. Inhale bring your knees up towards the ceiling and look up, exhale gently press your knees a part with your elbows and look down. Repeat for 8-10 breathes. After the last breath hold it at the bottom for 4-8 breathes. Release.
