Low Lunge Pose for Prenatal Yoga

Video Transcript

"Here's a nice way to do a Low Lunge, a nice modified low lunge, so Emily here can experience the nice thigh stretch that low lunge offers. I'm going to have her come into a nice table top pose, hands and knees, perfect. Yeah, coming about the middle of the mat so you can have a little bit of length if you want to stretch down a little bit more. As you seen table top, now, if, perfect, if you can take the right foot right between the hands and if you need to just reach down there and grab it and place it there, perfect. Releasing to the knee, releasing to the top of the foot and she how she back her up leg a little bit, she's a little bit flexible this time. So, she back her knee up a little bit, really opening up through that thigh, good thigh stretch here. Now being on your fingertips, Spider Mudra, push that pressing into those fingertips, lift the chest, look forward, oh beautiful. Lengthening through the neck. Now not looking up or down, keeps that neck in align with spine, soon as she tucks the chin, the back starts to round, and if she lifts the chin she gets a little bit back bend. We want to keep her a nice long spinal through here. Beautiful, relax into it, feel that thigh with a nice, wonderful stretch. Just remember that you do both sides when you're practicing at home. Deep, one more deep breath, breath into that thigh, and then very gently, pulling that leg back, come back into table top and lower down into child pose and breath into that thigh before you do the other side.
