Yoga

Yesterday was my first pregnancy yoga class. There were 8 students, and everyone was between 24-31 weeks, I think. I thought it would be mostly relaxation techniques, gentle stretching, and deep breathing. It wasn't; in fact, it was pretty challenging. We did all the usual stuff, minus inverted poses like plow and bridge. There was lots of down dog and warrior II. The instructor, a very cute, small woman named Tran, explained how each pose would help us pregnant ladies. After savasana, she gave us a little pep talk after about how we were already good mothers because we were exercising. Aw...thanks, Tran!
