Hi, my name is Kathy Duke. I teach prenatal yoga at the Health Advantage Yoga Center in Herndon, Virginia. Today, we are going to do a prenatal yoga practice. Our practice will include gentle stretches to get us started, breathing, posture to help build strength and endurance, and we will finish with a gentle relaxation that help calm both mind and body.
I am a registered yoga teacher at the 200 hour level. I have more than seven years of experience teaching yoga and more than 17 years in the health and fitness field. I enjoyed practicing yoga through both of my pregnancies.
To get started, you will want to wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. You may need a pillow, a blanket, or a chair to sit on.
Its best to avoid eating one to two hours before practicing yoga. Remember to consult with your doctor or healthcare practitioner before practicing yoga or any other form of exercise.
All the poses we do today are adapted to be safe and beneficial during pregnancy, but please stop if you feel any unusual pain or discomfort or there is any position that just doesnt feel right to you.
Now, we are ready to stretch and move. Lets get started.
