HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY IS YOGA BEING SOUGHT-AFTER DURING PREGNANCY?

When Actor Kareena Kapoor posted the images of her sculpted body with a baby bump demonstrating a few yoga poses, it definitely took the internet by storm. Actor Anushka Sharma stole our hearts too as she practiced the Shirshasana with husband Virat Kohli assisting her. All this, of course, under the strict supervision and guidance of their yoga experts.

Besides not just Bollywood, even Hollywood has taken a strong liking to yoga over the years with renowned names such as Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Miranda Kerr, Drew Barrymore, etc., often highlighting the benefits of yoga during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a very special time in every mother's life. But this period also brings about physical, mental, and emotional changes. In order to have a smooth journey and an even smoother delivery, it becomes important to incorporate yoga in daily life. Yoga greatly helps to deal with the physical discomfort along with the emotional fluctuations, while keeping you mentally strong in this demanding period. (Disclaimer: Avoid practicing in the first trimester)

Here are a few asanas that one can practice during their pregnancy:

1. Trikonasana

Method: Begin in a standing position and then move your legs open 3 ft apart. Turn your right foot open to the side, lift your arms at shoulder height and drop down to your right side. You can rest your right palm on the shin. Gaze forward or up to your fingers. Keep your chest open knees straight. While in the pose, continue to breathe normally.

Duration: Hold for 8-10 breaths. Release and repeat on the left leg.
