Most traditional yoga asana is dominated by external hip rotation of the hip, or neutral rotation of the hip.
External rotation isn’t BAD- it helps open the pelvic inlet and stretch the front of the pelvic floor.
But it’s not the whole picture.
For a vaginal birth, your baby has to move through the pelvic outlet. You create more space there through internal hip rotation, which also stretches the back of the pelvic floor. Your entire pelvic floor needs the ability to lengthen for birth.
So when I teach:
✨Reverse Clamshells
✨Knock-kneed Cat/Cow
✨Hip Shifts, Hip Airplanes and other “non-yoga-y” movements…
I’m not doing it to be weird for the sake of being weird.
I’m doing it because, in good faith, I couldn’t claim my classes prepare you for birth if we only practiced traditional yoga poses.
If we stuck solely to Warrior II, Goddess, Baddha Konasana, or Pigeon, you’d be missing a critical piece of preparation.
This is exactly what my new 6-week Prenatal Yoga Series is designed to do.
Stretch you. Strengthen you. Relax you. Support you. Prepare your body and mind for birth, even if it means we have to get a little weird (on purpose).
