A Flowing Pregnancy – prenatal sun salutation

Pregnancy is the perfect time to flow and move. As the blood volume has increased, amniotic fluid surrounds baby and perhaps there is even water retention it’s a perfect time to embrace flow and fluidity.

As Gabrielle Roth says in Sweat your Prayer: 

“The teachings of flowing unfold organically in the dancing body. In this rhythm we sense our connection to the birth cycle, and return to a pre-logical intuitive state, as if we were infants again eagerly and un-self-consciously absorbing the world around us.”

“In flowing we learn how to inhale, how to take things in: compliments, put-downs, gifts, intuitive hunches, moods, music, space-whoever or whatever is going on around us. “

Here I am taking Lily Rice, Designer and Founder of Lexie Sport, through her very first Surya Namaskaram or Sun Salutation. It is modified for her 33 weeks pregnant body to create space, ease, strength and flow.
