Best yoga pose for pregnancy pain relievers

Yoga is the best form of exercise for pregnant women as it is a combination of both stretching and strengthening.  Here is a yoga pose to try.

For Low Back Pain: Seated Side Bend

Sukhasana variation or Easy Pose

Any type of side bend will help a cranky back. So pick your favorite variation, either with crossed or open legs.

Start in a comfortable upright seated position, with legs crossed or folded in a half-lotus pose. Allow right hand to rest comfortably on the ground. Stretch left arm straight up, and then bend to the right, focusing on rotating upper torso and staying open as you gaze up at your left hand. As you bend to the side, lower onto right forearm for support. Repeat on the other side.
