Week 30

Hello, I know I have been absent for a few weeks and I apologize. I hope to be better at my weekly/bi weekly post's.
The past few weeks I keep hearing complaints about "Swollen Ankles" even from my Non. Pregnant Students.  I always go back to an oldie but a goodie for relief.... Legs up the Wall
Type of Pose: Restorative, mild inversion

Benefits: Achieves many of the benefits of inversions in a supported, gentle pose.

A passive inversion - great for swollen ankles and varicose veins (bonus!)

 
Instructions:
1. Sit next to a wall with the side of your body on the wall and your knees bent into the chest.
2. Bring the lower back onto the floor while bringing the legs up the wall. Keep the upper body supported with the elbows on the floor.
3. Slowly release the elbows and lower the whole back down to the floor.
4. If you are comfortable, stay here several minutes.
5. To come out, bring the knees into your chest and roll to your side.

As far as my progress, everything is right on track.  We just had a 29 week ultra sound and she looked healthy and happy. The pic's were not a cute, she's quickly running out of room so her cheeks and face look squished. (only a mother could love these pic's)  She is starting to move into position and I'm feeling GREAT.
