Goddess Pose for Prenatal Yoga

Video Transcript

"A fun pose to start a wide leg series, is the Godess pose. Emily, I'm going to have you come into a nice five star again. This time, instead of toes facing forward, I'm going to have your toes facing out, slightly. The Godess pose is a nice, wonderful squat. It's going to really build some strength in her thighs. Also, keeping control of that tailbone tucked under, it's going to strenghten her spine too. Extend your arms all the way out to the sides; bring your hands into chin mudra, thumb, and index finger together. Take a good inhale, exhale coming into a squat. Bend those knees, perfect. Trying to keep those hips and shoulders in a nice beautiful line. You can slightly bend the elbows if you like, bringing it up. Beautiful, letting your heart shine through. Feel the strength in your thighs breathe into any tight spots you have, especially in those thighs and especially in that lower back, enjoying this nice wonderful squat. To come out of it, inhale the arms long, exhale standing up nicely. Straighten those legs out, and just drop those arms down to the sides. Perfect."
