Week 21
I’m loving prsarita and I worked my way down into frog pose. Hip openers are feeling so amazing! ha ha and i’m also feeling a little more flexible which i’ve read comes with pregnancy.I did try a headstand this week and while I was able to get up I can tell my abs are slowly fading on me and it took more effort than usual. granted I know it says not to do headstands while pregnant, but I felt comfortable doing it, so once again I'm going to listen to my body.
Even though I've been pregnant twice before. I feel more now than ever to connect with my baby and provide safe home for her. I feel as though Yoga helps me reconnect with my body and the little body growing inside of me. Being trained at Bodhi Yoga taught me how to take the competition out of yoga and just be present with where you are at today.
