Week 1

Yoga

Level 1-2 30 mins

Start from the bottom by giving a little love to your lower back, an area that is experiencing so much dynamic change. Use slow, intuitive movement to bring energy to your whole lower body, adding in a little self-massage along the way. Flow in gentle circles to open up the hips, legs and lumbar spine, exploring lunges, pelvic stabilizers and triangle with lots of support from your props. Props Needed: Two blocks and a blanket. Props Suggested: A bolster.

Yoga

Level 1-2 30 mins

Melt away tension in your mid back, and make more space to accommodate your growing baby. Begin to wake up the thoracic spine with spinal rolls and light twists, then feel the full strength of your heart throughout a fluid dancing warrior sequence. Encourage a gentle opening with supported backbends like cobra and camel, then conclude with self-massage and savasana with your bolster. Props Needed: Two blocks, a bolster and a blanket.

Yoga

Level 1-2 30 mins

Complete your journey up the spine with a little TLC for your upper back. This divine class also includes plenty of sweetness for your arms, shoulders, neck and jaw. Enjoy a deep release with strap-assisted shoulder stretches, surrender into supported forward folds, and relax into a dreamy supported pigeon. Spontaneous moments of self-love will be woven throughout in the form of simple, yet blissful massage techniques you can make use of any time. Props Needed: Two blocks, a strap, a bolster and a blanket.
