Triangle Pose for Prenatal Yoga

Video Transcript

"To create space in the abdominals, give your baby a little extra room here, we're going to come into triangle pose. I'm going to have you come into a nice 5 star. Nice wide legs, arm extended all the way out to the sides. We're going to go into triangle very, very slow, really working on the alignment of this pose. First, turning your toes towards the right. Drop that back heel down. She's going towards the right, so we're going to have her gently lift up the left hip. She get a nice little crease there at that right hip. It's like someone is pulling your right fingertips out. Pulling, lean, lean, lean, and then just drop it wherever it lands. It does not matter how far down you go in this pose. What matters is staying literally between 2 nice panes of glass. Your slightly tucking the tail bone. Beautiful. Notice how she's creating a lot of space, lengthening through. Are you comfortable in this pose? If you like, you can drop the arm long overhead, turn the palm towards the earth, and again more, creating that nice beautiful space across the sides. Slightly lifting that hip. Again, if you were unsteady on your feet, please feel free to practice this against the wall. The wall is your friend. To come out of it, using the arm to help you. Inhaling all the way up. Extend those arms and straighten up the spine. Beautiful. Turn your toes to center. "
