The final trimester is both beautiful and demanding. For career-driven women navigating office stress and growing baby bumps, movement matters more than ever. Certain yoga asanas designed for the last stage of pregnancy provide relief, relaxation, and readiness right from the comfort of your home through online yoga classes.
Here are five yoga asanas to calm the body and mind during the final trimester:
1. Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose)
Gently stretches the inner thighs and opens up the hips—both of which should enable delivery. It relieves backache, which comes in as the belly expands. Sitting with the soles of the feet together, opening and closing the knees like the wings of a butterfly replicates their motion while encouraging circulation around the pelvic area.
2. Sukhasana with Deep Breathing
The easy pose with pranayama (deep breathing) induces nervous system calming, anxiety relief, and grounding – ideal before meetings or unwinding after work. This can be the simple-seated posture that offers mindfulness in a busy day and it is quite useful at all times.
3. Vrikshasana (Tree pose)
Stability is very important as the centre of gravity shifts from one place to another, and this pose is one for improving posture, focusing concentration, and enhancing balance in a safe and grounding way. Supported by a wall the exercise helps working women practice poise both physically and mentally.
4. Cat-Cow Stretch (Destress Tech Tension)
Hours bent over a desk typically cause stiffness and pain in the back. This gentle spinal flow releases the lower back area and improves flexibility. Plus, it promotes optimal fetal positioning as a bonus for smoother delivery.
5. Shavasana (Side-Lying Variation)
By now, lying flat is getting pretty uncomfortable. The side-lying variation of the corpse pose allows total relaxation while improving blood circulation and lessening swelling. Shavasana is very good for meditation, napping or just slowing down after a stressful workday.
