Yoga Poses for Third Trimester
In the third trimester of pregnancy, the fetus takes up more space in the belly. This makes it more difficult to move and breathe. Therefore, you should choose gentle movements and rest well. Avoid the following movements:
– Hot yoga
– Inversions
– Forceful or strong abdominal contractions
– Excessive backbends, forward bends, or twists
– Bouncing, hopping, jumping
– Squats, especially when you are susceptible to prolapse
– Arm balances
– Lying on the right side or back [10]
