Helps With

A gentle seated upper body stretch that helps release tension through the shoulders, neck and waist while encouraging space and mobility as your bump grows.

  • 1

    Seated Start

    Begin in a seated ball position, sitting tall with your feet planted hip-width apart.

  • 2

    Hand on Hip

    Rest one hand on your hip to anchor your upper body.

  • 3

    Reach Overhead

    Raise your other arm up and over your head with a soft bend at the elbow.

  • 4

    Lean Gently

    Lean to the side as you reach, feeling the stretch open up through your ribs and waist.

  • 5

    Return & Switch

    Return slowly to centre and repeat on the opposite side.

Tip Breathe into the stretched side — each inhale opens your ribs and helps create real space for baby to move up.
