I found Yogi Squats and the Warrior Dance Sequence the most useful during all trimesters of pregnancy.
When you are pregnant, not only the taste changes, the activity and energy levels become unstable, so I was looking for practices, that I could do anytime and anywhere, when planning becomes difficult. I found Yogi Squats and the Warrior Dance Sequence the most useful during all trimesters of pregnancy. The yoga practice changes with the growing body, but some sequences stay unchanged, only with a few adjustments in intensity and the number of repetitions.
Yogi Squats (Malasana) are amazing for strengthening and stretching the groin area, and opening the hips. Practicing Malasana helps to make room down there for the baby and prepare for his grand exit. I love to practice yogi squats with standing side bends, connecting breath to movement like a moving meditation.
Another kind of moving meditation I found in the Warrior Dance Sequence.
It is one of my favorite sequences for strengthening and creating space in the growing body. Flowing with the breath also creates a deep connection with the fast-changing body, strengthening and stretching tight muscles supporting the growing belly.
You should be careful practicing Yogi Squats and The Warrior Dance during pregnancy, try not to overheat the body, and make it slow and smooth, like you are moving through the liquid.
Another benefit of these practices is that you can practice these movements everywhere, you don`t need special equipment, even a yoga mat. Just start your Dancing Warrior sequence from mountain pose or Crescent lunge, you can do it anywhere you like, outdoors, in the room, on a terrace, or during your evening walk in the park.

Why communication and socialization are so essential for good health?
Before you start your home yoga practice you need to understand for yourself what your goals and motives are, and what you plan to get from the practice.
