Sun Salutation Pose for Prenatal Yoga

Video Transcript

"The sun salutation is pretty important in many styles of yoga. In prenatal yoga, we have a nice modified style of sun salutation. I'm going to have Emily stand off to the side. We're going to have your feet a little bit more apart because you are also coming into camper pose in this. Very slowly, start stacking one part of your body onto the next. Relax the shoulders back down and away from the ears and coming into your breath. Inhaling arms all the way up. As you exhale, swan dive. Forward fold. Lead with the heart all the way down. Beautiful. Inhaling to campers pose. Bend the knees, coming into that nice beautiful high squat. Exhale release right back into your forward fold. Release the neck. Then you're going to be walking slowly forward. Coming into the downward facing dog. Take a good 3 steps forward with your hands. A little bit further up. Perfect. Relax your head down. Release the heels towards the earth. The hip pointers are pointing straight up to the sky. Notice how her back is nice and long. It relieves a lot of stress in the lower back. Beautiful. Then slowly walking back to your feet. Slowly and gently. Inhaling back to campers pose. Bend those knees, hands on the thighs. Exhale. Release right back into the fold. Beautiful. Inhale, reverse, swan dive all the way up. Arms all the way up to the sides. Bring it all the way up to the sky. Exhaling down to heart. Center."
