Rock the Baby Pose for Prenatal Yoga

Another nice way to start your prenatal yoga practice is Rock the Baby, nicely named too. We're going to have her come into a Cobbler Pose. Souls of the feet come together and knees off to the sides. Beautiful Cobbler Pose. Now I am going to have her think about her spine first and have it nice and long, shoulders relaxed away from her ears. We want her to end up after this relaxed and not stressed through the shoulders. First thing I am going to have you do is just pick up that right leg. Now two options here, you can have a hand underneath the knee or that ankle and you can literally cradle that baby. Find what's more comfortable for you and then just start gently rocking the hips from side to side. This really helps to open up and loosen that hip joint. Very gently rocking side to side. Keep the spine nice and tall and chin to the ground with the crown of the head reaching up to the mirror. Beautiful. Gentle slow movements. Now I want you to also remember this. The further along into your pregnancy especially into your third trimester you produce hormones that will make you more looser, it will really open up through the muscles and please don't go there. Remember your limits. You will be capable to get further into stretches and bends or further stretches and don't go there. Listen to your body. Other side. Drop that leg down. Very slowly and gently lifting up the left leg and gently rocking it side to side. Make sure you always do both sides so that you stay balanced. Listen to your body. Only go as wide as it is comfortable. Shoulders tall, back is straight and then very gently release it back down to Cobbler. Hands to the knees or in Chin-mudra.
