#UpperBodyStrengthening for #BirthingPeople. Can y’all tell I’m mostly a #YogaAsana guide tho? Lol. 
😂
I rarely use weights myself but for pregnant folx, light weights are great to add in to any #asana class for gentle strengthening.

👉🏽 make sure you ask your doctor before starting any new exercise and/or fitness routine, especially if movement is new for you! always get the ok before proceeding. 
👉🏽 i mentioned the second and third trimester here, although once you get closer to your due date, it’s always best to slow down on fitness, and switch to super gentle #stretches and #breathwork. this is just my opinion though - based on my experience after guiding many people on their prenatal/postnatal journeys. 
👉🏽 remember, i’m not a fitness instructor so i am not familiar with the terminology for some of these exercises but i would recommend to not arch your lower back too much, or try and engage your abdominals too much - keep it natural and soft. 
👉🏽 i would recommend no more than 10-15 repetitions*3 of each exercise!
