Chair Squat for Prenatal Yoga

Video Transcript

"The Squat Pose is very important in Prenatal Yoga. It helps open up that pelvic girdle. And we've done one without a chair, we're going to do one with a chair for a little bit of support. So we're going to have you stand up. Now it's very important to be very, very comfortable and have maybe a blanket or something close enough by to work your heels when they're not relax on to the ground. You going to place it gently underneath the heels. Go ahead, bend over, grab a hold of the hair. Now look how she's widening her feet, she wants a little bit more than hip wide apart if that is available. Very good, very slowly start to squat down, bending the knees, releasing the hips down. Perfect. Now find a nice, comfortable position, make sure you keep holding on to the chair for support, beautiful. Are your heels on the ground? Perfect, you will not need a blanket on this one. Now if you like, you can stay just like this, holding on, if you want a really release into it, can I ask your forehead unto the chair? Start breathing, breath into any tight spots, breath into the hips, breath into inner thighs, any place you feel any tightness or tension and you can hold this pose for good two minutes."
