[@sarad.m.9072]

im 24 weeks pregnant have a lot of soreness in the ligaments between my legs and in my right side where my gallbladder was removed. i decided to give this a try and oh my goodness it felt so good. thank you!!

[@ikukoonofloyd2104]

Hi , I’m 16 weeks now and finally started light exercises after tough morning sickness period. As I stopped work out and lost muscles, this yoga routine really stretches my body, thank you !

[@lucyblack5860]

Just like to thank Apple Yoga for these videos. I started doing each episode in sequence (1-5) once a day before I was pregnant, whilst pregnant and now a few weeks away from my due date I feel really good! Would not be in such good shape without these exercises, I've experienced barely any back/hip problems and I know it'll all be very beneficial when I go into labour. Highly recommended thanks Katy!

[@sarithajayasinghe]

I did hard yoga b4 and now I'm 16 week pregnant .. now I'm following this and I love it .. thank you

[@pamelanord8347]

I am 11weeks and was feeling so sick and sore before I did this yoga workout. This is my fourth pregnancy and I wish I would have found this sooner. I feel so much better after just 10 mins! Thank you!!

[@s.kelley2024]

I've harbored so much pain and stress in my third pregnancy that my doctor put me on muscle relaxers. I hated the way they made me feel though (grumbly, hungover, etc.) and I never took them after the first time. This gave me instant relief from the pain and eased my stress levels as well. I am a yoga novice but this was totally accessible to me. Thank you so very much from both baby and me!

[@MrsGinaMarieTaylor]

Thank you so much! I'm 27 weeks and 5 days pregnant suffering from harsh lower back pain and front pelvic pain. Within the first few minutes of doing this video the pain started easing up! I'm going to try to do these everyday! Easy workout! I LOVE it!

[@Sanajan594]

Gina Marie Taylor how was your delivery

[@FuturePhotoGroup]

Thank you! I'm 12 weeks and have not been able to work out in weeks due to nausea. This gave me hope :)

[@kong2461]

Thank you for this! I'm 29 weeks pregnant and have had a very sore back this past 2 days. These exercises were so gentle - too gentle I thought initially to make any difference - but they worked! My back is feeling so much better. I'll be doing these for the rest of my pregnancy now.

[@rajjaelawrence]

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and haven't done yoga at all this entire time until today. In fact I did parts 1-3 & I have never felt more relaxed. My joints were super tight and my pelvic area was in intense pain. These videos helped SOOOO MUCH today

[@ForeverYoung2790]

This was so helpful! I'll be 20 weeks in 2 days and the past few days my hips have been hurting so badly! I just did this video and number 2 back to back and I feel so good! The pressure in my hips is gone.definitely doing this everyday!

[@LatinBeauty9309]

omg I'm 15 weeks pregnant, been having terrible back pain and horrible tension headaches.. I tried this today and my back and everything feels great!! going to keep doing this my whole pregnancy! thank you!

[@TaniaDadoun]

Thank you Katie Appleton! I'm 33 weeks pregnant. I started doing your yoga video every day and since all the pains I had in my pubic gone have diminished! THANK YOU!!!

[@amberpatrice9]

I teach dance and although I still enjoy dancing, I'm still really tense and uncomfortable. I've been finding it hard to sleep I just completed this ten minute work-out and I feel so relaxed and ready for bed!! Thank you for this video!! I'm looking forward to doing the 2nd episode tomorrow!!

[@reneetsj33]

These are the best prenatal yoga videos I could find on KZbin. I am now 5 months and use them to tide me over between weekly classes. I have now purchased the full DVD on Katy's website, can't wait for it to arrive.

[@twirlingtulles]

this is the best pregnancy yoga video out there. everytime i start doing it, i have serious pain in my thighs (being in the last trimester all my muscles are pinched up), at the end, miraculously, the pain is gone! it's crazy! thank you!

[@MissJoanna17]

Loved this yoga routine!! I am 30 weeks pregnant and this was just perfect. It wasn't too hard or too easy. Two thumbs up!

[@radiyyabegum707]

MissJoanna1

[@amandacarrington5582]

So happy for you me to

[@cammiehanratty5834]

Really great! I'm entering my 40th week of pregnancy and needed to be centered and stretch. thank you!

[@hurricaneNOIZE]

What a great video!!! 20 weeks pregnant and have been dying to go to the gym but am not allowed to! My bones, my hips, everything hurts and this video alone has made me feel wonderful just now!!! I feel stretched out!! Thank you sooo much! Can't wait to try the rest of the episodes!!

[@kotunuruga8795]

I am 27 weeks in the 3rd pregnancy. I usually jog a few times a week but cannot now due to a lot of ligament pain. So I am now trying out yoga and this was great. Thank you. I will be subscribing!

[@malibu55555]

31 weeks here. That was absolutely wonderful. I woke up this morning feeling so uncomfortable. it felt so much better as i was doing the poses and after. thank you for the video

[@DragonxnHD]

Still doing this yoga for my second pregnancy in 2020. Love it

[@moiyaherndon745]

this was fantastic I'm 32 weeks pregnant and my body has been hurting so bad. this felt amazing and although I'm having anxiety about having a c-section this helps relax me and relieves a lot of stress

[@Charcole514]

I have been searching for the right pregnancy yoga video for weeks now, and many of them did a lot of crunching the belly which hurt, or were WAY too patronizing. This one is absolutely perfect, and I want to follow this pregnancy workout for the rest of my pregnancy. It made me feel good and connected and gave me a workout. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

[@AndriaBieberDesigns]

I have never done yoga before. This is a nice video I am in my second trimester

[@ducknoired]

Thank you so much for these brilliant little increments. I had major complications in my first four months and spent a lot of it in bed. I also live somewhere quite isolated where the weather makes it hard to go outside - and I need to make an international move at 30 weeks! Here at 22 weeks I'm feeling physically weak, overwhelmed and very unprepared for what's to come. These little increments are helping me so much to start claiming my body back, feel stronger and start imagining childbirth and motherhood in manageable chunks. Thank you again for making this accessible!

[@akilahpina5359]

This was so amazing. I had lost 50lbs before I got pregnant, and had only bout 20lbs more to go, and now my baby is pushing out all of my fat so I just look fat, not even pregnant! Lol, so i figured, well I should do some yoga and working out. I made a plan, every M-F to start my day off with yoga, a warm up, a workout (every day focuses on a different part of the body), and then stretches, and every Sat and Sun, I'd do Yoga and Stretching only! I decided to pair Episode 1 with Mondays, 2 with Tuesday, 3 with Wednesdays, etc. etc. I have been having some lower back pain already in my pregnancy, and have the NEED to crack my lower back all the time but can't. When I began this Episode, on my first day of my new routine, I never realized how tight everything had gotten ESPECIALLY my inner thighs! After this yoga session, I feel so OPEN and RELAXED and soo good! I'm in love with your videos and am so excited to use them throughout my entire pregnancy on a daily basis!

[@MsGdasilva]

I am a yoga instructor and it has been getting harder and harder to keep my home practise up during my pregnancy but this felt so natural and just what my body was asking for. Thank you!

[@NuhaM1]

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and this is the first time I've tried Yoga. I feel good after 10minutes, will definitely keep going with this!

[@annarosamond7261]

This is the best prenatal yoga I've tried so far. I'm in my third trimester and I'm still fairly new, all the other where way to hard my lower back.

[@amandagardner4689]

Love this! I felt so relaxed after this video. A lot of prenatal yoga videos I've come across have been very fast-paced which is odd to me since I can't be the only pregnant lady struggling to catch my breath, ha! This was a perfect way to release tension and feel connected to my body while it's growing my little one ❤️

[@dinakoldeibekova7412]

The best stretching for pregnant so far. Even some moves look so easy, but you can really feel that you needed stretch in that area, especially related to back! Thanks!

[@kaythaley9202]

Ive been having a lot of back pain. this yoga workout was very relaxing and helped a lot!

[@violetasopes]

I love your energy! I'm late into my first trimester, first pregnancy, and I enjoyed this video so much! Thank you.

[@Blkftmariposa1371]

Omg I'm so glad I have found this! I've been using these videos from 18wks till now 35wks it makes a world of difference. I am a massage therapist and i am still working full time I think these videos have a lot to do with that! I do a video in the am and at night and if I'm really busy at work I'll squeeze in some of her stretches at work! Thank you so much! Hope Katie Appleton had a healthy baby!

[@emilybracho5616]

Thank you so much for these videos. I just tried this out after a week in agony from an aching back and I my back actually feels looser and is pain free. Definitely subscribed and I can't wait to do more.

[@hodso1ra]

I'm 25 weeks, a constantly sore. I wish I had found this months ago! Can't wait to work this into my daily workout routine!

[@erikayoungberg5466]

These videos work out all of the pregnancy tight spots. I cannot express how much I love them. Thank you!

[@85eMCat]

My favorite pre-natal yoga video! It's easy and effective. The best one I've found. Thank you so much for this video.

[@malismamma09]

You're amazing!! I'm 19 weeks pregnant & after the whole session my back popped & it felt amazing!! Bless you!😁👍💖

[@tikabirdsong756]

Hi there!!! I'm on modified bed rest, and have looking for something that I could do to exercise my body but not strain my current condition. I'm in my second trimester and have been so anxious and sore from the stress of not moving very much and worrying about the pregnancy. This video really helped me to relax and loosen up my legs and back. Thank you so much for posting.

[@mjc394]

This is amazing! I feel so good right now. I had no idea how sore and neglected my body was until after I finished this routine. I'm usually so tired all the time, but now I feel energized and ready to start my day. Thanks so much for posting. I can't wait to watch the rest of this series.

[@JoyMCharlton]

Thanks Katy. With decreasing the amount of physical activity i do due to pregnancy ive lost some of the things that helped me to relax and this was great to replace those actvities.

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

This was amazing for my lower back! Thank you 💕

[@sberryjubilee]

Thanks katy, I feel great after the workout. I've been having trouble with my lower back since pregnancy, but these workouts help

[@yasnavarro2700]

Im 25 weeks pregnant and this the first time i try any try of workout, i feel so much more relaxed as well as with my breathing. Thank You!

[@annemaveera5112]

I'm 18 weeks, start to have lower back pain and sharp pain in the knee. I tried this once and it helped, definitely going to do this in routine. Thank you

[@kapilalal7041]

Beautiful Yoga! Just wanted to know the specifications of the yoga block used. It looks quite different and comfortable. If anyone knows, do let me know. Thanks.

[@clementinelikando5025]

I was so scared, as I thought that I really couldn't do much of my gym exercise being pregies...am in my sec trimester and it's helped tremendously,I even sleep better now,with all the stretch work. Thank you very much.

[@katalinpinter9749]

Amazing yoga session, thank you so much! Great knowledge, very good, clear instructions, nice and pleasant personality.

[@autumnschultz4855]

I came across these videos while researching different videos and these videos are by far my favorite! I have been working out with these videos since the last few weeks of my first trimester and I just love how open my body feels after doing these yoga poses! thank you!

[@The_jenn_diagram]

I recommend her to everyone as soon as I hear a pregnant woman say she is in pain. I did these almost every day while pregnant and I felt so comfortable, slept great and was able to put on my own sneakers until the day my boy came. Not to mention, katy is sweet and lovely and British and says sweet things to you n your baby ♡

[@lauraguinto5592]

I've done quite a few pregnancy yoga videos and despite the short length this one may be my favorite one! Relaxing way to wake up and stretch my achy body this morning. Looking forward to trying the other videos!

[@chrissy_rose8052]

This is my 6th pregnancy and this is by far the best, quickest, most effective yoga set that I have done. Thank you!

[@marjaliisa7166]

Thank You so much, been doing your prenatal videos from 1 trimester and currently I´m already 33 weeks, feel great!

[@christinaorozco6732]

Thank you! One episode and I already feel relaxed and way more flexible! I'm 24 weeks :)

[@jennifercoats3110]

Loved this! I'm 14 weeks and this felt great :) Really helped with my anxiety too.

[@meeramanian]

I love this yoga series from Katy. Very relaxing and the sound of her voice is so paced to follow along. Great job Katy!

[@alexisheitz2113]

This is my favorite exercise. Its very relaxing and really helps with my back being as I'm in my 2nd trimester.

[@marionsmedievalmusings2856]

Wish my gym would have pregnancy yoga classes. This is pretty great. Makes me feel more calm, more energized, and looser.

[@byrdinez]

Thanks for this. I'm in my first trimester and usually not very active but I'm determined to take better care of myself.

[@CountryMomma0426]

Fantastic. In my first trimester and I have horrible sciatica from my last pregnancy. It's getting worse already and this helped so much tonight. I feel tons better (: will be doing these daily

[@DreamDeeply37]

Thank you sooo much for posting this! Katy has a very nice, calm voice and it feels like she is actually talking to me. I'm hoping that relaxing will help take away these darn migraine headaches! Thanks again!

[@SorayaAzizSouleymane]

I have never done Yoga before but I found this very easy to complete and I feel energised and I'm sure my baby feels the same. this is excellent for a start, I can't wait to try episode II. thank you Lady!

[@noorinhasan3162]

Thank you so much Katy! I'm in my third trimester and I have been enjoying your clips, I like how you divide them into 10 min workouts! I subscribed and hopefully going through 3-4 episodes will be part of my daily routine.

[@Here2vibe]

great and not exhausting workout for me. I have low muscle power and tissue and I really need some good stretches and poses that are easy and not too straining on my body. first trimester now, but I will continue this routine and the other videos in this playlist as best I can. the breathing exercises are great for me!

[@samanthashi552]

Just wanna thank you for this wonderful yoga video. I followed the video almost everyday during my pregnancy. It helped to relieve my back pain and nausea

[@salamender285]

Im not pregnant however im inflexible and have fibromyalgia, so this helps me alot. At the end of 1st week, my breathing during day had changed and got better.

[@mrsasifiqbal1227]

i am 26 weeks pregnant and i see this is the easiest yoga ever not too much stress...going to try this ..i hope it makes me feel better ..i still have morning sickness and my baby kicks and movement is like 24/7 and it makes me exhaust ..sometimes i really hate kicks ..i shouldn't say that i know its rude but seriously can't bear the movement and kicks for long time

[@vixschannel_igni]

Thank you so much for this video! My back has been so sore all day and this has helped to alleviate some of the pain! ❤️

[@acmulhern]

This is such a great video. I used it all throughout pregnancy and am not still using it post-pregnancy for some gentle stretching before workouts.

[@sarakacy19]

Love my morning stretches! 14 weeks here.

[@mnajar8a]

wow thank you. I am in my second trimester but just started to think about doing yoga! this was amazing. I am looking forward to do the rest of the series every day., I feel a lot more energetic, less fatigue and I think my muscles were given a nice message!

[@Sophisticatedbeauuty]

im 32 weeks pregnant and i loved this! the only part i couldn't finish was the stir part. The last exercise was my favorite one

[@magicalmomlaura]

This is my favorite video for when my hips and lower back feel tight and it is calming. Thanks for the video!

[@mandipuff86]

I'm planning a VBAC and did this workout ..well all 4 episodes and it felt so good in my back and hips that have been sore.

[@morganmurrell5557]

I am 23 weeks & have been very active this pregnancy, I so enjoy running or even getting cardio on my elliptical. just recently ive started suffering from sciatica :( this felt great in my lower back and in my hips. I subscribed so I wont lose this video! thank you so much :)

[@hatchetlovesinsane]

I love your work outs! I am a plus sized 14 wks pregnant. And your workouts are great! Easy and simple for women like me

[@insil1977]

I'm in my first trimester and I already learned more about my body from this video then from other sites about pregnancy. thank you so much for this very inspiring video, which I'm gonna do every day !

[@excellentwyldstallyn]

This is so good for back and shoulder pain and stiffness. And it helps my sciatica. Thanks!

[@AtemusQueen]

I'm 5 months and I"m very new at yoga but I do want to try it. This looks interesting and yet easy to try from the beginning.

[@wonderland1452]

this is my favariot one so far. even I added some other yoga from her episodes, this one is the must do.

[@fauzia9]

Love it! it really helps me to start my pregnancy workout on my 20th week..

[@ritii86]

hi!when do you recommend to do each episode? i've just done the first one, should i do the next tomroow and so on?

[@anniegurung4377]

It had been months me searching for prenatal yoga and finally i found You. Easy and effective and feels really good..love u so much for making my body feel fresh again..by the way i m 20 weeks and ladies its better to do something than nothing at all..

[@tnview9845]

Thank you so much your teaching made me feel relax and confident to start do yoga again after 5 years ... now im 24 months pregnant vert happy yo be mom ..... thank you again

[@sypressandco2948]

Im so happy i ran across this video. My back already feels better. Thank you so much!!! How often should i exercise and stretch? Im currently 27 weeks!!!

[@shellandrabogan2667]

I love these exercises... I will be doin them everyday of my first trimester...

[@Gandlapthegrey]

This movements it's very simple! It's easy to do, i will do this every day

[@sarahmire6136]

Thank you so much! This helped me immensely today! Going to be adding this to my regimen.

[@CamdenSmithNaples]

In my second almost third trimester I Love this #yogaforpregnancy because it relieves the lower back and really opens up the hips. I do this series parts 1-4 or 1-3 then part 5 after cardio or weights. It also reduces my foot swelling which has been mild thus far but has been accompanied by pain in my heels due to fluid. After this, I have relief for a few hours.

[@faelynnrose1899]

I love this! Thank you for such a relaxing, beautiful yoga routine. This helped me relax and breathe so much in my pregnancy.

[@dangergirlfalconshark1042]

Thank you so much! You have helped me immensely with these videos.

[@laurascrimgeour2855]

Thank you for this. My back has been aching for days. 10 minutes of your workout and the pain is gone! This is wonderful :D.

[@469whitetiger1]

I was looking for a great yoga video and im so happy i found 1 even though im kinda late i only got 9 more weeks till my daughter due but i love it its relaxing and i love how you explain and not be so hard on people thanks..

[@sashajorgensen894]

I love her, she makes it so relaxing. I was wondering though how long i should do the same routine before moving on to the next episode and how to spread them out over the entire pregnancy?

[@Meganisaface]

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm wondering how often i should do this as well

[@sashajorgensen894]

Not yet, I'm hoping I will soon though bc I'm 22 weeks now.

[@amandasmith7157]

sasha leggett You can do them all throughout pregnancy. She says they're all fine at different stages in each episode.

[@BethHorton]

I am 22 weeks and just ran through all of the videos, and you can do any of them at at stage. Put all of them together for a good workout, or just do one every morning.

[@Meganisaface]

Personally i think it depends on your level and how much you can do. For me I tried doing them in order once a day. But the second level was a little too much for me. Which i attribute to me not doing much my entire pregnancy. If you feel comfortable with the first video and feel the changes and it getting easier, than go on. Do two if you are physically able with out over doing it.

[@surojhiniramessersing5228]

I am so glad that I came across your pregnancy yoga videos... really all of them helped me through a really bad backache... Really .... thanks a lot

[@britaverill6899]

What can I use instead of a yoga block? I don't have one!

[@awrp11]

I used a small pillow... it workd just as good

[@vassiliki81]

+Brittany Averill I used a big pillow I have :)

[@juliaantonova4870]

+Brittany Averill you can use a blanket or a towel rolled on the comfortable height for you. I personally use blanket and am happy with that))

[@Nilpherd17]

I used a pillow instead of a yoga block

[@gloriayoga]

+Brittany Averill You can use a folded blanket or a few folded towels. A firm cushion may work for you too.

[@KWilliamsacoustic]

Thanks for this episode! It's very much suiting me now at full term with far less mobility at my disposal than I have had earlier. TY so much.

[@JasminaJacca]

Dear Katy, I am now 9 months pregnant, with my first child and I am practicing with You for months :) Thank You, You do the great job! I am just wondering are You planning to make some postnatal yoga clips? I think that new moms would like that!
