This yoga asana is great for creating flexibility in the hips, stimulating circulation and encouraging deeper breathing. It gently stretches the inner thighs and back of legs. Accommodate a growing belly and the changes of pregnancy by simply slowing down the movement and taking it easy. Avoid this posture if there are any back problems.
Caution: Do not practice this asana if there has been a diagnosis of Pubic Symphasis or if you are experiencing pelvic / pubic bone pain on walking, sitting etc.
