Prenatal Yoga for the Lower Back and Sciatica: The Neck
Pregnancy (and life, for that matter) can cause headaches, often associated with neck tension and tightness around the entire back and hips. Sarah-Jane helps you find relief with this slow-paced, gentle yoga class for the spine. Keep breathing deeply and encourage the body to relax into every yoga pose. The entire program, Prenatal Yoga for the Lower Back and Sciatica, can be found on our Yoga Programs page.

I am on the 2nd semester and I feel that there is too much forward-leaning poses. At the end of the class, I felt sharp pains in the belly and I could not move. The pain went away after I lay on my left side, but I was very scared :(
Thanks for this lovely, gentle series of classes, Sarah Jane. It's great to have some short, relaxing, nourishing routines that I can do when I'm feeling creaky a day of waddling around with the bump!
Hi, did you ever try this one when actually pregnant? (Or with some pregnant yogi friends?) I'd be surprised if there were many women who found the forward-leaning poses possible in their third trimester. It's not a case of flexibility; there simply isn't space for belly. I'd suggest amending class description to recommend for first and second trimesters perhaps.
I found this is be a great release for headache tension. Thank you!
