Fire Log Pose for Prenatal yoga Practice

This pose is also known as Knee to Ankle Pose, if practise regularly, it helps to open the hips.

The steps are :

1. Sit with legs outstretched straight in front, bend the knees.
2. Bring the right shin parallel to the front of the mat.
3. Place the left ankle directly above of the right knee, bringing the left shin parallel to the right shin.
4. Inhale and exhale while staying in this posture.
5. After a few breaths, release both legs.
5. Repeat on the other side.

If necessary, beginners may place a cushion or padding under the sitting bones for support. If the gap of the top knee to the floor is too big, position a block or blanket under the top knee.

Advanced prenatal yoga practioners may come into a forward bend and keeping the spine long and straight..

  1. Hi, I was not aware the existence of prenatal yoga before I read your blog. Will recommend to my pregnant friends :). Where did you learn prenatal yoga from?
