How to do the Prenatal Yoga Triangle Pose

Expectant mothers can keep up their fitness routines, with some modifications to accommodate their growing bellies. Yoga is an excellent exercise and learning to modify some of the positions is a great way to ensure you stay active, healthy and safe.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Stand with your legs slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, knees straight but not locked.

2. Extend your arms straight out to your sides.

3. Point your right foot out to the side. Your right hip will be slightly in front of your left hip.

4. Bend from the waist to the right, gently placing your right hand down your right leg as you bend.

5. Lift your left arm straight to the ceiling or sky.

6. Repeat Steps 3 through 5, bending to your left side instead of your right. You'll lift your right arm for Step 5.

7. Concentrate on feeling your chest expand as you bend from the waist.
