It takes a lot of energy to grow a human, so feeling fatigued more than usual during pregnancy is totally natural. You’re using additional energy, and all of the physical and hormonal changes might have an impact on your ability to relax and fall asleep.

Insomnia is most likely to occur in the third trimester, but it can strike at any point throughout pregnancy. Heartburn and morning sickness are only two of the several causes of insomnia.

Later in pregnancy, a kicking baby might act like an annoying internal alarm clock, as we all know, sleep is essential throughout pregnancy, so finding strategies to ensure you get adequate rest is important. Yoga can help in this situation. Prenatal yoga for better sleep can be beneficial throughout pregnancy.

Pigeon Pose

This prenatal yoga pose is ideal for ladies who have tight hips or who suffer from sciatica discomfort, which can flare up when lying down. If you’re in your second trimester, you might want to forego this posture, especially if you’re having pelvic pain.

Cat-Cow Pose

Bring your hands to your knees, palms shoulder-width apart beneath your shoulders, knees hip-width apart beneath your hips. This is where you’ll begin. Inhale as you slowly raise your head and stretch your spine towards the floor. Exhale by gently arching your spine upward and bringing your chin to your chest. Repeat 5-10 times. Take care not to overexert yourself.

Butterfly Pose 

Fold your right leg and place your right foot as higher on the left thigh as feasible. Bring your hand’s hand on top of your folded-in-half right knee. Grip your right foot’s toes with your left hand. While breathing, gently raise your right knee up to your chest. Deeply inhale, then slowly lower your leg to the floor. Maintain a straight torso at all times. Rep your right leg and do the same with your left. Slowly do 10 up and down moves for each leg.

Mountain Pose

Put your feet together as well your arms at your sides. Raise your hands in the air, interlock your fingers, and then turn your palms upward as you inhale. Place your hands above your head as you exhale. Inhale deeply and raise your arms, shoulders, and chest. Stretch your entire body from head to toe. Bring your hands to the top of your head as you exhale.

Children Pose

Get to your hands and knees. Adjust your knees to be mat-distance apart or broader. Placing a bolster between your knees is a good idea. Bring your hips all the way to your heels. Stretch your arms in front of you or bring your hands back into line with your feet. Your hands will be resting on the floor. Inhale and exhale slowly for 10 breaths.

Revolved Seated Side 

The sitting forward bend with a twist is known as the revolved seated side angle position. Revolved sitting side angle prenatal yoga pose stretches the whole body, including hard-to-reach areas like the inner thighs or between shoulder blades. The combination of the straddle and twist creates an excellent hip opener and toner for all stages.

Leg-Up The Wall 

Make your way to a wall. Lie on your back (or, if pregnant, prop yourself up with stacks so your back isn’t totally flat) and stretch your legs up onto the wall. Place one hand on your stomach and the other on your heart. Take deep breaths, focusing on the sweet connection around your breath, heartbeat, and baby if you are pregnant. Hold them for at least 10 breaths before gradually rolling yourself down and sitting up.

Lastly, Resting Pose

Set yourself up for a relaxing prenatal yoga pose on your mat or perhaps in your bed so you can fall asleep quickly! If you’re pregnant, make sure to rest on your left side or use bolsters to avoid lying totally flat. Shut your eyes. Stay for at least 5-10 minutes, or as long as it takes you to wake up!

Keep an Eye Out for Danger!

Not all yoga pregnancy yoga practices or poses are suitable or safe to perform during pregnancy. Bikram yoga, often known as hot yoga, is not recommended for pregnant women since it can cause hyperthermia, placing both mom and baby in danger. As a result, it is important to attend specifically designed prenatal yoga classes; Divine Mother is pleased to provide all moms-to-be with pregnancy yoga lessons by qualified experts, as well as many other pregnancy care program to help them deal with pregnancy challenges.
