⚠️ Important Note on Pregnancy & Relaxin (Hormonal Mobility):While not mentioned in the video, it is vital to account for Relaxin—the hormone that increases flexibility during pregnancy.

How to modify:

• Stop at 70%: Do not move to your "maximum" range of motion. Because your ligaments are softer, you may feel like you can go deeper, but doing so risks joint instability and Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). 

• Strength Over Stretch: Focus on "hugging" the muscles toward the bone to create an internal scaffold, protecting the joints that Relaxin is trying to loosen.

• Neutralize the Pelvis: Avoid wide-legged stances that create shearing forces on the sacrum.
