In this video Co-Director and Founder of Bliss Baby Yoga, Ana Davis, demonstrates with Sophie (27 weeks pregnant) how to adapt Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) pose for pregnancy.
Using a chair as a prop, Ana shows a more easeful, yet deeply hip-opening version of this pose. This is especially beneficial for late pregnancy when a person may feel very heavy and tired.
