Boost energy & circulation and feel better during your pregnancy with this little flow. It wakes up the spine, shoulders, and actually tones the abdominals safely. You can release the low back, stretch the hamstrings, and put baby in a good position for labor. (Always thinking ahead)
Down dog ==> Cow ==> Cat ==> Child’s pose ==> Cow ==> Down dog ...

#firsttrimester moms: If you’ve got morning sickness or are experiencing nausea, skip the down dog and just come to hands & knees instead.
~
#secondtrimester moms: You can hold down dog for 3 breaths or less.
~
#thirdtrimester moms: Hold down dog for 30 secs. or less

I’ve been travelling and teaching for 9 months and people keep asking me what kind of travel yoga mat I use. My answer? None. I’ve loved not having a yoga mat with me (especially as I’ve only been travelling with a carryon suitcase!) and have not missed using a mat whatsoever.
_
My bare feet and hands work great on the floor, and if it feels a little slippery in a down dog or something, I welcome the instability to challenge my nervous system. Or I use a wall to brace myself instead of sliding. If I need support for my knees, blankets or pillows work great.
_
Utilizing the environment around you for movement inspiration allows more creativity in how and when we move. If we wait until we have an hour to unroll the yoga mat or go to a class, we might not end up moving in those healthy little bits throughout the day.

Let’s continue to let go of the stories what yoga should look like and allow it to be a practice that reflects who you are... in all the ways. This lovely sequence gets all the good thoracic twistiness combined with some lunge love and shoulder mobility that you can do at a counter or anywhere else.

Where are some of your favourite non-traditional places to do yoga?

Restorative Locust Pose, inspired by @deaconyoga + @vilmasaldate and their awesome restorative prone backbends (give ‘em both a follow for lots of restorative goodness ).
I feel like the photo doesn’t show much visually compared to what this pose felt like. After staying for 10 minutes, I could definitely feel the effects of the backbend! As a counterpose, take several breaths in Child’s Pose, a seated position, or any gentle forward bend.
To prop this pose, build up your props under the legs, chest and arms according to how intense of a backbend you want to be in (higher props = deeper bend). Here is what was comfortable for my body if you’d like to use this list as a starting point:
-1 pillow under feet
-1 bolster angled under shins
-1 trifold blanket under knees
-1 rolled and 1 folded blanket under chest
-1 rolled blanket under wrists, partially unrolled to provide elbow support
-1 block covered with a towel under forehead
-blocks under hands
-eye pillow on back of neck
-folded blanket over low back area
enjoy! xo

I read this question the other day: “What might it feel like to release the need to decide?” and it stuck with me, obviously bc I don’t have a clue
But this is how I practice it - moving freely without a predesigned sequence, one breath at a time, not knowing my next move, allowing my body to choose the action moment by moment by moment by moment...
