Hi, I'm April KirkHart with Work of Heart Yoga. And today my friend Katie Fernando and
I will be demonstrating yoga for women who are in their third trimester of pregnancy
and prenatal yoga. As a word of caution, all women, especially those who are pregnant or
who have injuries should make sure that they speak with their physician or health care
provider before engaging in any kind of new physical activity including yoga. So please
be mindful of how your body feels throughout your practice. If anything doesn't feel right,
please stop whatever pose you're in the middle of. Come out of the pose slowly. And then
if you need to go ahead and check in with your health care provider. So I guess we're
ready to begin. Thanks Katie. So these are some of the props you'll want to have for
third trimester of pregnancy and prenatal yoga. You'll want to have a sticky mat. You'll
also want to have two blocks, a strap, a wool blanket. Something that's stiffer than cotton.
A bolster, and then two pillows or meditation cushions. And these are the props that will
help keep you nice and stable. As well as a chair. Something that is sturdy enough to
hold a little bit of your weight. And we'll make sure that we brace it against a wall
or on your sticky mat to keep it stable.
