Yoga for health | Pregnancy of Third Trimester

Pregnancy is an incredibly special time in a woman’s life. Creating life and carrying another soul inside your body for nine months gives new meaning to your life, and might even be giving you strength to cheerfully bear the long list of complaints that pregnancy often brings.

As the third trimester progresses, prenatal yoga may become more difficult (just like walking up the stairs, tying your own shoes, and turning over in bed). Your belly becomes a real factor to consider, as does general tiredness and feeling cumbersome. If you were able to practice yoga with some vigor in the second trimester, give yourself the permission to ease up now. Take an increasingly cautious approach as your due date nears, but there is no reason to stop practicing prenatal yoga as long as you feel up to it. Practicing restorative yoga poses during this period can help relieve fatigue, insomnia and water retention.
