I've had two expecting moms within one week ask me about yoga poses for breech presentation, so when that occurs, it is usually a message to me to spread the information for all to glean.
The following are support measures and yoga postures that may be helpful when the baby is presenting breech.
Support Measures:
Visualize the baby turning and/or head down
Relaxation
Attention to any unresolved issues for the mom
Avoid deep squats (pelvis lower than knees) until baby is in vertex position
Acupuncture
Webster's Maneuver (Chiropractic)
Patience (many babies turn spontaneously)
Helpful Yoga Poses:
Supta Baddha Konasana (aka Heart Bench)
Cat/Cow
Supported Setu Bandha 3x/day for 10 to 15 mins.
Viparita Karani (aka legs up the wall)
Prasarita Padottanasana (standing forward fold wide angle legs)
There is also a wonderful website called Spinning Babies that shows how to do Belly Mapping and talks about all fetal positions, including breech. Here is the link to their their page on what to do for breech:
