• Goddess Pose

The Goddess Pose helps make your leg muscles stronger and helps maintain the overall body balance and structure. First, stand with your legs wide apart and keep your back erect. Then, bend from your knees while lowering your hips and hold the position. Keeping your back erect at all times during this pose is essential. You must perform this pose for first trimester yoga as well, as it helps strengthen the pelvic muscles.

• Squat

Entering the squat position will help strengthen leg muscles and make the pelvic muscles more powerful. This helps during delivery, as muscle activity is enhanced. While bending your knees, hold the squat position down from your hip. Use a pillow to support you if you cannot perform unassisted squats.

• Bridge Pose

To achieve the Bridge Pose, lie down on your back. Now, bend your knees towards your chest. With the help of your hands, grab your ankles tightly. Now, slowly raise your hip to create an arch. Stay in this position for a few seconds before slowly returning to the normal supine position. Remember not to rush while returning to the normal position to avoid an injury to the back.

• Child Pose

Sit on your knees and keep your back erect to get into this position. Now stretch your hands above your head and slowly bend forward. Make sure you have placed some pillows in front of your knees before you begin this position to provide additional support for your pregnant belly. You can do this pose in second trimester yoga during pregnancy as well.

• Side Savasana

Perform the classic Savasana with a twist. Lie down on your back and place some pillows on your side. Turn sideways and place your knee on the pillows, bringing it closer to your chest. Meanwhile, place one hand over your head and the other on your side. While doing the Side Savasana, keep your back erect and straight. Repeat on the other side.
