What are the methods of yoga in late pregnancy

Women will feel that their figure has become particularly bad during pregnancy. This is mainly because the fat in their bodies will continue to increase during pregnancy, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, when they are more likely to become obese. This is difficult for some young women to accept, but there is no way to solve this problem, because many types of exercise are not suitable for pregnant women, and they can only do some very gentle exercises.

1. Cat Stretch

Function: Helps stretch the back and promotes optimal fetal position.

How to do it: Kneel on your knees with your arms and thighs perpendicular to the ground; especially, keep your back straight and open your shoulder blades. Exhale, lower your head, and lift your back up, arching your spine and extending your tailbone downward. Inhale again and return to a straight back position. Repeat 10 to 15 times.

Note: If you feel pain when bending your wrist, you can make a light fist and use your knuckles to support your body to reduce the pressure on your wrist; if your knees feel uncomfortable, you can put a blanket under your knees.

2. Child’s Pose

Function: Help pregnant women effectively stretch their waist and hips.

How to practice: Start in a kneeling position with your knees apart and your big toes touching. Slowly lean your body back and sit your buttocks on your heels. Stretch your arms forward and lightly press your forehead to the ground. Maintain this position for a period of time that is comfortable for you.

Note: In the later stages of pregnancy, the body should not lean forward too much. You can use a blanket or pillow to support your upper body.

3. Lunge Mobile

Function: Help pregnant women stretch their pelvis and hips and correct fetal position.

Practice method: Kneel on both knees, support yourself with your hands on the ground or yoga bricks, and slowly move your left leg forward. Inhale and slowly move your body forward until your left knee is perpendicular to your ankle. Exhale, slowly move your body backward, straighten your left leg, and lower your hips. Repeat this movement 10 to 15 times, then switch to the other side.

Note: When moving your body forward, your knees should not exceed your ankles, otherwise your ankles will be stretched and painful; when moving your body backward, sit in a comfortable position and move slowly.

After all, you have reached the late stage of pregnancy, which is the most important moment for your baby and yourself. It is best not to do too intense exercise. If you feel uncomfortable while exercising, you should stop immediately. When doing yoga, it is best to use a blanket or pillow to support your body so that you will not lose your balance.
