Yoga Poses during Pregnancy

It's crucial to prioritise rest and maintain an active lifestyle during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga gives you the opportunity to connect with your body while you strengthen, increase your range of motion, and learn balance.

 

These advantages can lessen the symptoms of pregnancy, encourage physical and mental relaxation, and establish healthy thought patterns. Additionally, you'll learn how to adjust to all the changes that come with being pregnant.

Best Yoga poses during Pregnancy

1.Forward bend from head to knee (Janu sirsasana)

This forward bend improves digestion, builds back strength, and encourages relaxation. It elongates your legs, hips, and back.

 

Steps: 

• With your left leg outstretched, sit on the edge of a cushion, block, or folded blanket.
• Press the left foot's sole up against the inner thigh of the right.
• Pull in a breath as you raise your arms.
• Exhale to lengthen your front body by folding forward a little.
• Put your hands on the ground or your body.
• As long as a minute, maintain this posture.

Continue on the opposite side.
