Campers Pose for Prenatal Yoga

Video Transcript

"The campers pose is a nice way to strengthen the thighs, strengthen the pelvic girdle. It can also can be used a pose between other standing poses. Emily, I'm going to have you bring your feet good hip width apart. Maybe slightly more than hip width apart. If you're on a mat, you want your feet about mat width apart. Toes facing straight forward. Perfect. Again, we're working with the breath and this flow. Very slowly, inhale your arms all the way up. As you exhale, bend the knees. Drop your hands straight down to the thighs. It's a nice high squat. She's keeping her neck and her spine in alignment, so she's not looking up or down. Look down just slightly. There you go. Perfect. Nice beautiful alignment of neck and spine. Also, strengthen your thighs here. It's a good way to practice it before you get rolling into some of your breath flows. Take one more breath. We're going to release it into a nice forward fold. Take a nice deep inhale. As you exhale, release all the way into a forward fold. Inhale, reverse all the way up. Exhaling. Heart center."
