Trimester Two: Build
UPPER BACK RELIEF (25:15)
Take some time to relieve stiff, sore muscles of the upper back, neck and chest with this flowing yoga practice. As your baby grows, you’ll notice a lot more tension around the mid back as your posture shifts to accommodate more space for baby.
We want to keep things feeling mobile, to reduce the restriction in and around your mid back that can compromise your breathing. Because the Diaphragm (one of our breathing muscles)and the Pelvic Floor muscles work in synergy, if the Diaphragm is compromised, the pelvic floor can be as well. This lovely practice will help your body feel AND function better.
