Yoga for Pregnant Athletes
Use these videos to meet yourself where you are, every day, every trimester. To address the undeniable accompanying physical discomforts and ease your body into alignment as it continually grows, shifts, and changes. To prepare yourself for labor and birth, no matter the birth plan. And to help you lean into pregnancy, to learn from it, and to find the ability to trust and surrender to the process, no matter what comes up for you along the way. These videos will help you really listen to your body — yours alone — and to lean into the reality of each day, which can be so different from the last.
NOTE: Like any exercise during pregnancy, be sure to talk with your doctor before doing prenatal yoga.
