In your pregnancy it’s common to feel muscle pain in the low back, and into the buttocks. Try this simple yoga breath exercise to ease muscle discomfort. Lay comfortably on your left side. You may use pillows for additional support (i.e., one under your head, one under your belly, one in between your legs). Scan your body from head to toe and notice where you are feeling discomfort. Inhale through your nose then exhale “space” into the area(s) of discomfort. Imagine the “space” you are breathing is lengthening the muscle. Repeat the yoga breath into the uncomfortable area 10 times or as long as you need too. At the end of the exercise notice the difference in how your body feels.
