The Cobbler's pose is one of the hip opening yoga poses and can also
be in a reclined position. Sit on the floor and place the soles of
your feet together. Slowly let your knees fall outwards toward the
floor. Breathe properly.
Another variation of these specific yoga poses is to lean backwards
until you are lying on the mat on your back. Keep your feet together
as you feel the pose gently stretch your leg muscles and relieve some
of the tension on your lower back.
This prenatal yoga pose is also easily done at home or in the labor
room.
Modified Bellow Blows are a terrific prenatal yoga pose to open up your chest area and
let you breathe better. From a standing position, raise you arms in front of you, place
your palms together and let your shoulders relax. Breathe as deeply as you can through
your mouth as you stretch you arm out shoulder wide. Exhale as you place your hands on
your knees and arch your back. Not only will these yoga poses promote good breathing,
you can feel the tension and aches leave your body.
Two of the most recommended yoga poses for pregnant women are the Cobbler's pose and the
Modified Bellow Blows. These yoga poses will help relieve some of the lower back pain often
associated with pregnancy. You will also notice a greater sense of calm after completing
just these two yoga poses.
