Wave Breathing Technique for Moms and Moms-to-be

When we lengthen and expand our breath – especially the exhale – we return to a natural rhythm, ground our energy and reset our nervous system.

This is one of my favorite breathing techniques.  Whether you’re pregnant or not, with baby all day or working all night, we need to press the reset button every 90 minutes. If we don’t, we start to overwork our adrenals, limit the ability of our immune system to work, and slow the prana (life force) down.

This is a great way to reset several times a day – enjoy!

Quick Tip for the Wave Breathing Technique

Do try to relax your breath as much as possible, gradually lengthen the spaces between the breath, and breathe in and out through the nose.

How Ma Yoga Prenatal Principles Change Regular Yoga Teaching

It’s true, not everyone wants to teach prenatal yoga. Still, most of us will know someone we care about who gets pregnant, and most yoga teachers will find themselves teaching with a pregnant woman in the room. Knowing how we can best support them – and not pass along more anxiety and fear – is the greatest gift we can give a mom-to-be.
