Hi, I'm April Kirkhart, with Work of Heart Yoga, and today, I'm going to be teaching you a sequence on prenatal yoga, for women in their first trimester. It's very important to always check with your physician, before engaging in any new physical activity, including yoga, and women who are in their first trimester of pregnancy, as well as second and third trimester, begin to release a hormone called relaxin, so you need to be careful about over stretching. If you've never done yoga before, you may want to check with your physician, before starting now. If you've had a regular practice, it's wonderful to continue your practice, but maybe practice in a little bit of a softer fashion, so that you're taking into consideration, the changes your body is going through.
