Side Chair Stretches for Prenatal Yoga

Start stretching and warming up for your chair prenatal yoga practice. I'm going to have Emily, here, do some nice side stretches. So making sure you're sitting up nice and tall, you're scooted down far enough to where your knees are nicely and gently bent, feet, perfect, are right underneath your knees, and soles of the feet are resting onto the mat. Now taking your hands behind your head and clasping the fingers together. Beautiful. Really open up. Nice. Now, we're going to have her chest, her shoulders, and her hips continually facing forward, and she is going to come into the side stretches, and she does want to work with her breath. So I'm going to have you take a nice inhale, complete breath first. Center it. Perfect. Deep inhale. Exhale, side stretching to the right. Keep the chest forward. Beautiful. Inhale, nice and tall. Long spine. Exhale over to the left. Nice. Inhale, tall. Exhaling right. Inhale tall. Exhale left. One more time each side. Inhale nice and tall. Exhale back over to the right. Straight. Good. Beautiful. Inhaling. Exhale release over to the left. Exhale out completely. Inhale all the way up. Relax the arm back down to your thighs. And relax.
