Pranayama (Breathwork) during Pregnancy 🫄🥰
I’ve been learning a lot of great ways to use the breath for calming and relaxing the nervous system and connecting more deeply with the body’s sensations.
I can see how practicing them regularly would help to create the “muscle memory” to come naturally into these practices during labor and childbirth, thus making it a little easier to ride the waves of contractions all the way to the final pushes. 😮💨😅
1st clip:
Ooo breath | sitting still or turning the head gently side to side | activating and opening through the throat chakra space - your inner voice, your intuition, your truth | keeping a big space open in the mouth and throat and allowing the air to flow out controlled and full, rounded tone
2nd clip:
Mmm (Bhramari - Humming bee) breath | sitting with heart-womb mantra, one hand to heart and one to belly/baby or two finger gently pressed to ajna chakra (third eye) to connect with your inner wisdom | feeling the vibration of sound across your lips while the breath leaves your nostrils | feeling the sound vibrations echo restorative and soothing sensations throughout your body
Aum breath | I decided to sit with my hands over my head, not the usual recommendation, and I enjoyed the feeling of being open across the chest, giving space for my lungs to fill up deeply, feeling tall and balanced through my spine, and the vibration in the top of my head! 🤯😅 | breathe in deeply, aaaaaa… uuuuu… mmmmm - feel every section of this chant on the exhale and connect with this deeply powerful and calming sound
Dance to the little outro melody at the end, let go, be free! 🧑🩰
