In Prenatal Yoga, is it recommended to only lie on the left side in the fetal position for Savasana?

Yes, in Prenatal Yoga, it's often recommended for pregnant individuals to lie on their left side in a fetal position for Savasana. Lying on the left side can improve circulation to the heart and can be more comfortable and safer for both the mother and the baby, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. This position helps to alleviate any pressure on the inferior vena cava, a major vein that returns blood to the heart from the lower body.

Is there a specific rationale for sequencing one side of the body before the other, such as starting with the right side before the left?
