Assisted Dvikonosana

Holding this posture for a few deep breaths helps to release tightness and tension around the shoulder joints. It is great for assisting mobility of the shoulder joints and regulates blood circulation, particularly to the head.
Depending on our balance, as pregnancy progresses and our bellies grow to accommodate baby, our spine and shoulders may tend to overcompensate and store more than usual tension or fatigue in and around the shoulders. This can also be aggravated when sleeping on our sides. Sometimes tight, tense and tired shoulders, upper back and neck area are the cause for impaired circulation and nerve flow down the arms and can exacerbate Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in pregnancy.
