Nice!

For the prenatal classes, that I teach, I like to give the alternative of going to the wall with the ball - for squats. Ball into the back, feet away from the wall a nice distance, then bending the knees to where the thighs are parallel. Holding the position for 10 secs, repeating, and adding length to the pose about 10 second increments.

Working up to holding for a minute. We did this in our "Baby You and Me Class" at the YMCA, 25 years ago, for building up strength in the legs, and for creating endurance, because this squat will be the foundation of most of your birthing.

Typically, I only have access to the resist-a-balls, or the birthing balls, and not the bolsters, so just an alternative way to do the squating pose.
