day which is a quote from anime gaskin the state of relaxation of the mouth and jaw is directly correlated to the ability of the cervix vagina and anus to open to full capacity so another thing that moms find helpful is fully relaxing the mouth and jaw and also practicing horse lips i know it seems kind of silly but it can be a helpful practice to do during birth thank you so much for joining me today namaste to you namaste to the babies i hope that helped your body feel good and relieved any aches and pains especially if you're having sciatica or back pain i will keep making pregnancy yoga workouts and pilates every week if you like videos like these and to support me subscribe hit the notification bell and share this video with another pregnant friend i will also link to my free resources and ebooks for pregnancy in the description box below as well as the pregnancy yoga workout playlist which has over 150 different videos you can also find it right there as well as my

  1. I am SO grateful to have found you! 16 weeks in to my first pregnancy and my low back and tailbone have been KILLING me so finding your channel has been a godsend! I did a Pilates video yesterday that kicked my hiney and doing this yoga today was perfect. Thank you thank you!

  2. since I've discovered your videos, my spine started smile , cause i have really awful pain in my back and only yoga help to avoid it!! 17 week pregnancy

  3. 29 weeks and woke up today with leg cramps and back pain (from getting up too quickly to relieve them 😂) so tried this flow and it was just what I needed. Appreciate the gentle music, it’s not as distracting as others. Will be coming back to this one!

  4. Anyone else doing this postpartum? Carrying a babe on the hip, and the sciatica's back! 😂

  5. I was sick with a stomach bug for 4 days during week 32 and it scared me! I couldn’t eat and I felt like my belly was shrinking. But I finally feel better in week 33 and 1 and today is the first day I’m back to working out with your videos! This was a good one to ease back in

  6. You are amazing… the music in this video was sooooo helpful to relax more .. thank u for ur efforts

  7. This helped a lot with my sciatica but boy did it aggravate my heartburn. The reason – as far as I'm concerned – is probably my breathwork? I'm breathing hard and can't follow your breathing commands because it's getting harder for me to move. Also, well, bending down… Not my best friend anymore. But thank you for this and the relieve for my back. 🙂

  8. I always come back to this one. The music is not intrusive, the stretches feel so good, the voice is soothing. I always feel good after doing these exercises! On my second pregnancy and still find myself coming back. It’s a staple. Thank you for making this one Jessica!

  9. This is one of my favorite prenatal yoga videos! I love how fluid the moves were! I feel great, thank you!

  10. Can we do these in 9 weeks pregnant

  11. when i hear "yoga" i can think of only vinyasa and down dog… like i've been practising it every week a couple of times a week and i dislike it, it's so repetitive, so thank you so much for making this very nice and good for body.

  12. I love your videoes! Thank you for all your great content <3

  13. 14 weeks pregnant and LOVING these videos , thank you !

  14. I love to hug my baby with you every morning ☺…And your exercises are never boring nor too hard…The exact amount of effort I need to rise and shine! Thank you Jessica!

  15. Hi there! Amazing video 😊 thank you so much, was just wondering if you had any workouts or videos to relieve the hip joint pain and how it reflects pain in the legs? Thank you so much!

  16. 3rd trimester mom to be here. This routine helped relieve my mid and lower back pain some, but I really wish it had more forward folds or a longer hold in child's pose to really stretch out my back.

    I love your channel though and it's been very helpful during my pregnancy!

  17. your wonderful thank you. -pregnant wife

  18. 37+5 weeks and this past week has been so painful and I've had difficulty walking. My second pregnancy following your workouts and this yoga session really did relieve some of the pain and made it easier for me to move around. Will keep this one up daily now to get a good start of the day and hopefully be in less pain! Thank you 💕✨💪

  19. I absolutely loved this practice ☺ finding your channel has been such a blessing!

  20. You are a huge help and support in my 4th pregnancy. I am deeply grateful 🤍
