When you’re pregnant it’s very common to experience a range in your emotions. Sometimes you’ll feel irritated, grumpy, or even down. These feelings you’re having are normal, and can be changed with some simple exercises. Try this sequence of exercises to improve your mood. The first prenatal yoga exercise I describe will release tension in your body. In a seated position, bring the soles of your feet together. Inhale bring your knees up, exhale (through your nose) gently release your knees towards the ground. Repeat 10 times. Next, get in a comfortable cross legged seated position (you can place pillows, blankets, or towels underneath you). To release tension in your head and neck, bring your right arm over the top of your head. Place your right hand near your ear, inhale and gently press your head into your hand, release on the exhale. Repeat 10 times, then repeat the exercise on the other side. Last, to relax your mind and body, close your eyes and take 8 deep cleansing breaths…breathe in through your nose and out through your nose. Notice the difference in how you feel. Breathe this feeling in and slowly open your eyes. Don’t you feel so much better now?!
