Practice Options

We strongly encourage you to do some movement and positioning practice daily, beginning as soon as you’ve learned it. All the things below are safe to do after the first trimester, as long as your health care provider has not given you any instructions about changing your exercise routine. You’ll have different levels of time and energy on any given day. We encourage you to do the most you can do, but also be kind to yourself and give yourself some grace on the tough days. There are options below…some days will be best days and others, not so much :-)
