New Delhi, May 10 (IANS). Today Mother’s Day is being celebrated all over the world. This journey of becoming a mother is the most beautiful and memorable time in every woman’s life. Especially the second trimester of pregnancy is the period when new energy comes in the body, fatigue reduces and movement starts increasing. This phase is also called “the time of increasing strength and movement”.
In such a situation, the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, keeping in mind the health of pregnant women, has advised to include light and safe yogasanas in their daily routine during this period. This increases strength in the body, brings flexibility, improves posture and also calms the mind.
According to the Ministry of AYUSH, the second trimester is the time when a woman can use her growing energy positively. Doing proper yoga asanas not only increases physical strength but also helps in preparing the body for delivery. Include these yogasanas: Include some of the yogasanas given here, from Tadasana to Sukhasana and Shavasana, in your daily routine.
Tadasana is practiced standing. For this, stand straight with both legs joined, raise your hands upwards. This expands the entire body, strengthens the spine and improves balance. At the same time, for Vrikshasana, stand on one leg and keep the other leg near the knee and lift it up with folded hands. You can also do this with the support of the wall. This asana increases balance and concentration. Sukhasana is also an important asana. For this, sit on the floor in a relaxed posture, keeping your legs bent. Practice deep breathing in this. This calms the mind and gives relief to the back.
At the same time, for Shavasana, lie down on your back and leave the entire body loose. In the second trimester, you can also do it on your side with the support of a pillow. This removes fatigue and induces deep sleep. To practice Viparitakarani, lie down with your legs raised with the support of a wall. This reduces swelling and improves blood circulation. Shankhasana gives light exercise to the muscles around the stomach and waist.
Experts recommend practicing these asanas slowly and comfortably. If you feel pain or discomfort anywhere, stop immediately. Be sure to consult a doctor or yoga expert. Yoga in the second trimester not only improves the health of the mother but also creates a good environment for the coming child.
