Third Trimester Yoga Moves

Move gently, breathe deeply, and prepare with intention.

Why try yoga in the third trimester?

The third trimester is often a mix of excitement, discomfort, and anticipation. Your belly is fuller, your baby is nearly ready, and your body is working hard behind the scenes to prepare for birth. Yoga during this phase is less about stretching deeply and more about finding comfort, space, and calm.

✔ Helps relieve back pain, hip tightness, and swelling
✔ Encourages pelvic openness
✔ Supports emotional calm and breath awareness for labour
✔ Gently strengthens muscles needed for birth
✔ Offers time for bonding with your baby
✔ Grounds energy to reduce anxiety and fatigue

More Than Movement

In these final weeks, yoga can feel less like a workout and more like a conversation with your baby. Each pose is a chance to check in, ground yourself, and trust your body’s wisdom. The breath you practise now may be the same breath that carries you through labour.
