Prenatal Yoga Week 17 | Gentle Strength, Warrior Flow + Hip + Back Relief

Welcome to Week 17 of your 40-Week Prenatal Yoga Journey.
You’re officially in your second trimester — where energy may return, belly growth speeds up, and your body begins to ask for more support, strength, and space.

This gentle strength-building flow is made just for this season. We’ll move through grounding Warrior variations, hip-opening relief, and slow, confident transitions that help you feel strong in your changing body.

💛 What This Week 17 Flow Will Help You With:

• Building lower-body strength safely (hips, glutes, inner thighs)
• Improving posture + relieving low back discomfort
• Supporting pelvic stability as baby grows

We’re not here to “push through,” but to create lasting strength that carries you into labor — and into motherhood.

✨ What You’ll Do in Today’s Practice:

• Sukhasana breathing + nervous system calming
• Hip + spinal mobility (Cat/Cow, Down Dog)
• Power postures (Warrior 2, Extended Side Angle)
• Real pregnancy relief (Malasana, Pigeon Pose)
• Gentle core + pelvic support (Triangle, wide-leg folds)
• Restorative recovery (Side-lying Savasana)

This is a safe, slow, supportive strength flow — never forceful, always guided by breath.

🌱 Who This Class is For:

• Moms in Week 17 or early/mid second trimester
• First-time moms who want gentle guidance
• Mamas with hip, glute, or lower-back discomfort
• Women who want to feel strong as baby grows
• Doulas, midwives, and prenatal coaches seeking resources for clients
• Anyone wanting pregnancy-safe movement they can trust

If you’re having round ligament pain, feeling heavier on one side, or worried about doing “too much,” this flow will meet you exactly where you are.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER

Always consult your doctor or midwife before beginning any exercise during pregnancy. Move slowly, listen to your body, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness, or unsafe pressure. By participating, you agree you do so at your own risk.

💗 PS:

If you’re a pregnant or postpartum mama, or a doula supporting mothers:
I created this 40-week yoga series so you don’t have to guess what’s safe, what’s supportive, or what actually feels good in a growing body.

You deserve a space that meets you right where you are — week by week.
