Yoga is such a wonderful way to maintain your pregnancy fitness. It has all the advantages of stretching with the added bonus of calming the mind and preparing your body for labour. The breathing techniques you practise during a yoga session are hugely [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/abercrombiepascher/‎]abercrombie pas cher[/url] beneficial when it comes to giving birth and [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/louboutinpascher.php]louboutin[/url] you'll [url=http://www.jordanpascherofficiele.com]air jordan[/url] be glad of the improvements to your strength and flexibility as well.
Yoga in pregnancy promotes health and well-being, is great for alleviating stress and tension, improves your circulation and releases endorphins to make you feel good too!
Cat Pose in Pregnancy
This is a great pregnancy yoga pose for releasing tension in the upper back and shoulders and taking the pressure of your baby off [url=http://www.cxgt.gov.cn/E_GuestBook.asp]abercrombi[/url] your spine. Take it slowly and don't spend too long in one position.
[url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] Start on your hands and knees, palms facing down below your shoulders and finger tips facing away from your body. Keep your knees under your hips and [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/abercrombiepascher/‎]abercrombie soldes[/url] your back flat. Breathe deeply.
Exhale, press your palms into the floor and arch your back upwards, lowering your head [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/airjordan.php]jordan[/url] so you look towards your legs. Pause in this position.
Inhale slowly and deeply and gradually lower all your spine, starting [url=http://dar-al-hikmah.com/forum/newtopic]air jordan pas cher Is Mind Reading Exposed True to the Hype[/url] [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbourparis.php]barbour paris[/url] at the [url=http://www.louboumaterialistanyc.com]louboutin[/url] base and moving vertebrae by vertebrae until you reach your chest. Lift your head, look upwards and gently stretch out your neck.
Alternate these movements, smoothly lifting and lowering your back, without jerking.
Take it one step further:
To sharpen your concentration and develop your balance add an extra stretch to this pose.
From the starting position on hands and knees inhale deeply and bring your right leg up and parallel to the ground. Keeping your leg muscles engaged and your balance steady bring your left arm up and stretch it out in front of you.
Breathe deeply, hold [url=http://www.shyg120.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4621568]louboutin Air Conditioners Make Life In The Desert A Breeze[/url] the pose and return to the starting position before repeating on the other side.
As ever, stay within your limits! If you feel uncomfortable or unbalanced just enjoy the simple cat stretch.
Pregnancy yoga Tip: If you can't get to a pregnancy yoga class these simple exercises can be easily practised at home. Some sources recommend the cat stretch during and between contractions to help lessen the discomfort.
Release tension in your shoulders with Cow Pose (Gomulkhasana)
Stiffness in your shoulders is very common. Sitting at a desk and using a computer, driving or carrying a toddler can often result in stiff shoulders. What's more, many of us tense our shoulders when we're stressed. Add in the weight of enlarged breasts and changes to your posture as your baby grows and even the most healthy pregnant woman is likely to suffer from achy shoulders from time to time.
The Cow Pose is a simple [url=http://www.achbanker.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] pregnancy yoga posture that will help make more space for your breathing and release the tension in your upper back and shoulders.
In a kneeling position, breathe out and lengthen your back, rolling your shoulders gently [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/tiffany/]tiffany outlet[/url] to release them.
Stretch your right arm up, bend your elbow and [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbourparis.php]barbour[/url] drop your hand down the back of your neck.
Now reach up behind your back with your left hand, reaching as high as you can so the fingers of both hands meet. If they don't touch, try holding a yoga belt with your right hand reaching for the belt with your left hand, [url=http://www.ilyav.com/uggsoldes.php]boots ugg pas cher[/url] working your hands as close together as you can without straining.
Hold the pose for about a minute, lengthening your lower back and neck and breathing deeply. Make sure you keep your neck free and don't allow your arm to push against your head.
Release both arms, breathe deeply and relax for a minute before repeating on the other side.
