Getting even the smallest amount of yoga into every day is so beneficial. Pregnancy is no different! Here’s a very basic Sun Salutation that you can try from the comforts of your own home. Remember: Bring your knees up and down at the same time to protect your lower back and start with your feet at least hip distance apart (this will allow you to bend forward with a belly!).
Starting with hands down by your side, raise your hands over your head on an inhale
Bend your knees slightly, exhale and fold forward, hands towards your feet
Bend your knees a lot and start to walk your hands out in front of you.
Keeping your knees at the same level, bring both down to touch the ground – all fours position
With hands firmly planted, lift up and back into Downward Facing Dog pose
Lower your knees to the ground together and walk your hands back to your knees
Lift back up into a forward fold position
Inhale your hands up over your head.
Exhale hands together and then down to your heart in the starting position. Repeat!
Finish your Sun Salute in Mountain Pose, hands together at heart
