344 | Mobility During the Trimesters of Pregnancy

The Optimal Body

In this episode, we delve into essential exercises and tips tailored to each trimester of pregnancy to support optimal mobility, stability, and overall well-being for expectant mothers. In the first trimester, we empower you with the hallmarks of mobility, as well as the importance of breathwork with pelvic floor awareness. In the second trimester, we address how you can work around the new sensations you are experiencing and what it means to focus on strength and stability as a signal of protection and resiliency to the brain. Finally, in the third trimester, we dive into intuition and relaxation, ensuring you move and modify movement throughout the trimester. Let's dive in!
