The Cradle Sway
Why this one

Swaying the hips side to side releases the low back and outer hips, where pregnancy tension loves to gather.

How to do it

Still on hands and knees, gently sway your hips from side to side, letting the movement rock through your low back and hips.

Keep in mind

Easy and rhythmic, like a slow cradle. Nothing forced.

Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
