Seated side stretch // Parsva Sukhasana
One of the simplest, yet most satisfying yoga poses in pregnancy, which can be practiced on a daily basis
This pose offers accessibility, a sense of grounding and, best of all, opening of the side body when you might otherwise be feeling a bit tight.
Your growing baby starts to take up much more room as you move through the second and third trimesters of pregnancy which can make you feel uncomfortable and make breathing feel more challenging.
Spending just a few minutes a day in this pose will be sure to help you feel more comfortable, give you more room to breathe and give your baby more room to wiggle.
Practice this pose in stillness focusing on one side at a time and breathing deeply to experience opening in the side body
OR practice in a mini flow, moving from side to side, focusing on movement with the breath to experience a gentle stretch of the side body and hips
Choose what feels best in your body and enjoy ✨
