Poses In A Prenatal Yoga DVD
January 12, 2009If you have never practiced yoga before and are going to start your practice while you are pregnant, knowing a few of the basic poses that you will be doing in the prenatal yoga DVD can help.
One of the basic ones that you can expect to be doing a lot in your prenatal yoga practice is downward facing dog. Click here for a good explanation of the pose. This is a great stretching pose and can help your back. As you get more advanced in your pregnancy, you may need to do a bit of a modification on this pose. A good prenatal yoga DVD will explain the proper modifications for every stage of pregnancy.
Another good yoga pose that you can expect on a prenatal yoga DVD is child’s pose. Click here for good instructions on how to do this pose. This one can get more difficult as your belly gets bigger and the stretch that this pose provides might not be quite as effective later in your pregnancy. Again, a good prenatal yoga DVD will explain any modifications necessary.
As with any exercise routine during pregnancy, check with your doctor to be sure that it is safe for you.
