Second Trimester Yoga Moves

A time to stretch, strengthen and settle into your new rhythm.

Why try yoga in the second trimester?

By the second trimester, many women notice a shift. Fatigue may lift a little, morning sickness might ease, and your baby bump begins to show. It’s a beautiful window of time where your energy may return, your body feels a little more predictable, and you can begin to move with more confidence.

The second trimester is great for building gentle strength, improving posture, supporting circulation, and easing common discomforts like round ligament pain, tight hips, or back strain.

✔ Gently strengthens core, back, and leg muscles to support your changing body
✔ Improves posture and breath capacity as your uterus expands
✔ Encourages pelvic mobility
✔ Calms the nervous system and relieves stress or overwhelm
✔ Helps with digestion, swelling, and sleep
✔ Deepens the connection to your growing baby
