"A fun hip opener to do on hands and knees is this nice, gentle hip opener we're going to show you today. So go ahead, and come to hands and knees. Now you want the hips nice and open, relax, loose during your pregnancy, so we're going to have Emily straighten up her left leg behind her, beautiful. Now this is one you can flex the foot, or point to the toe, it's really according to what's comfortable for you. Take a good breath, feel those back ones rising on the inhale and exhale deflating, perfect. Bending that knee, dropping it over to the side, over to the right, open up that hip, perfect. Now dropping the knee, extend the leg, bend the knee, open up the hip by dropping it over to the right, beautiful. Drop the knee, extend the leg. One more time, bend the knee, perfect, open up that hip by dropping it over to the right, lovely, drop that knee, extend through the leg and then lower the knee down to the ground and press into Child's Pose."
