Very simple and yet very effective two exercises are done here which can help you to relax your neck, shoulders, and back.

1.Shoulder rotation:

Rotate shoulder in one direction for 8 counts, and then reverse. Do 2 sets while sitting in Vajrasana or cross-legged position.

2.Cat and camel position:

Get on your fours like how shown in the video with hands, knees, and feet shoulder-width apart. Arch your back down and look up the celling for 8 counts. Very gently change position to arching back up and looking down for 8 counts. You may repeat it 2 to 3 times.

This exercise does not only help in relaxing you back but also helps in helps baby to rotate into anterior position from posterior for a healthy normal birth.

All prenatal exercises must be done in supervision to avoid any unnecessary risks.
