Intro to Prenatal Yoga - Chair hip opener pose for prenatal yoga
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
A great way to create space in the hips is using the chair doing a nice hip opener so
we're going to have Emily show us. Go ahead and stand right up. Now we're going to have
her turn around and face the chair. Now we're going to have her place your hands on the
chair on either side with a nice firm grip. Now walk back just a little bit until you
feel a nice flat back, beautiful. Throughout this pose I want you to continue looking straight
down towards the chair keeping that neck in alignment making sure there is no stress on
your shoulders. Alright coming in to the hip stretch, extend the left leg behind you, keeping
it straight just to begin with, and then bend the knee, drop off to the side opening up
through that hip. Drop the leg, extend the leg, bend the knee and drop it off to the
side, beautiful, keep looking down, drop the knee, extend the leg, bend the knee and drop
it off. I'm going to hold it this time and I'm going to come behind you, hook the knee
into my side, hold the hip. Are you good and still comfortable? Keep looking down and I'm
going to gently release, extend that leg and I'm going to gently drop it down. Walk up
slightly and stand right up.
