Prenatal PAS: Gentle Movement for Comfort and Connection

Prenatal Wellness | Yoga | 11/13/2025

Problem: Expectant bodies often face back and hip pain, fatigue, and uncertainty about what movement is safe. Without guidance, discomfort can disrupt sleep, mood, and daily life—and you may miss opportunities to connect with your baby through breath and calm.

Agitate: Pushing through pain or overdoing exercise can worsen symptoms, increase stress, and raise concerns about labor and delivery. You deserve a practice that honors where you are today, with clear adjustments and support.

Solution: A gentle, yoga-inspired approach tailored for pregnancy—with breath, props, and clinician collaboration—offers comfort, steadiness, and connection.

Physical relief and emotional wellbeing
Use supported poses and breath to release tension in the lower back, hips, and shoulders. Move within a comfortable range to promote calm and a deeper bond with your baby.
Breath awareness and mindfulness
Practice diaphragmatic and nasal breathing to soothe the nervous system, lower tension, and create a portable calming tool you can carry into labor.
Engage with your healthcare team
Obtain clearance, share your plan, and tailor poses to your trimester and medical status, building confidence and safety.
Safety cues and red flags
Know when to pause: vaginal bleeding, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or contractions. Hydrate, avoid overheating, and avoid supine positions after mid-pregnancy; use props or walls for support.
Trimester-friendly modifications
First trimester: gentle Cat-Cow and seated stretches; second: supported hip openers with wall; third: side-lying and reclined poses with bolster. Adapt intensity to energy and comfort.
Practical planning and daily micro-practices
3–5 minute breath breaks, gentle hip openers after sitting, adjust intensity with energy and sleep, and involve a partner for safe practice and shared relaxation.

By weaving these mindful steps into daily life, you can stay comfortable, connected to your baby, and confident in your practice—always in collaboration with your care team.
