GROUND EXERCISES - various exercises for buttocks and legs

SPINE EXERCISES - exercises specially designed to maintain a good condition of the spine, a spine that undergoes a number of changes during pregnancy (lumbar area). These exercises aim to reduce pain or prevent pain from developing.

THORACIC AND ABDOMINAL BREATHING - thoracic and abdominal capacity in natural childbirth play an essential role in significantly helping the expulsion. These exercises are designed to increase breathing capacity.
