Prenatal Yoga Sequence Second Trimester Pregnancy is usually divided into three trimesters- the Second Trimester comprises the time span from Week 13 to Week -28. Around the 21st and 22nd weeks, movements of the fetus may be felt and though the risk factor is comparatively less than the first trimester, care should be taken to not exert the body too much. The overactive hormones, slow weight gain, strain on the lower back and spine and nausea are some visible changes during the second trimester. In the second trimester, the joints begin to loosen up along with the muscles and the ligaments. Hence, the Prenatal Yoga Sequence for Second Semester given below includes yoga poses that help keep these soft joints fit and tight. It is important to focus on keeping the breathing going while maintaining the pose with balance, as the body gets a bit heavy. Guidelines: Move slowly from one pose to another. Understand the body and listen to it while holding a pose. Breathe evenly throughout the practice without pushing yourself deeper into a pose. Focus on stability and stamina throughout the practice. Although the body is slightly heavy, yet it is safer to practice yoga in the second trimester as compared to the first trimester. The Prenatal Yoga Sequence for Second Trimester involves some poses that help to gain stability with balance and strengthen the legs and the hips. Focus is also maintained on improving the pelvic floor muscles with very low key yoga poses.
