GINA KENNEDY: Hello, my name is Gina Kennedy. I'm a prenatal yoga instructor. Before you start any prenatal yoga practice, make sure you talk to your doctor first. Also if you're just starting your yoga practice, do not start until your second trimester. If you have had yoga practice before you got pregnant, you can start in the first trimester but make sure you talk to your teacher so she can make modifications and adjustments for you. Now with prenatal yoga, it goes with balance, flexibility, strength and opening up the hips. You can do a lot of traditional yoga poses, but some of the poses need to be modified just slightly for you. Never take a nice, deep back bend. Of course, never lay on the belly, and your spinal twist should be taken to about 60%, 70% of your limit, never passing your limit. Always listen to your body; do only what feels right for you. Now with the breathing techniques, it will help you not only through your pregnancy but also through your delivery. Prenatal yoga is for the mom to help her through all the changes that her body is going through at this very special time in your life. So with breathing, strength, opening of hips, the prenatal practice will help you through this very wonderful time in your life.
