Yoga is great during pregnancy. Not only is it good strength and flexibility training, it can help you mentally and physically prepare for labor. Yoga also helps you hone your sense of balance, which is ever changing as your belly grows. Here’s a yoga sequence that incorporates standing poses to strengthen your lower body while increasing the flexibility in your hips and hamstrings.
