Gemma Atkinson doing yoga while pregnant is properly impressive

She may be heavily pregnant, but Gemma Atkinson isn't letting her baby bump get in the way of her yoga routine.

The 34-year-old actress, originally from Bury, showed off her impressive skills on the mat on Instagram on Saturday morning.

Starting with leg stretches, before effortlessly bending into Adho Mukha Svanasana - downward-facing dog - Gemma proved she's as limber as ever.

The mum-to-be finished by lowering into Bālāsana - child's pose - in the social media video.

The caption to the clip read: "These two stretches have become my favourite in the morning and before bed.

"My lower back gets tight throughout the day as do my lats. So I’ve found these two work well for me.

"I do them at a much slower pace for around four reps of each and I find that’s enough.

"I did these BEFORE I was pregnant and I’ve also had the go ahead from my consultants to continue with them (until they get uncomfortable).

"Please check with yours before doing any new exercise when pregnant."
