How To

Can I do yoga during pregnancy?

Pregnancy can affect your ability to do certain poses safely. Before beginning a new exercise routine, it is advisable to consult your doctor.

However, there are many poses you can still do during pregnancy. These are some ideas:

  • Women who are pregnant shouldn't lift more than shoulder height. Instead, you can use dumbbells or lightweight resistance bands.
  • Avoid deep twists. They could cause pressure to your stomach.
  • Avoid backbends until after you give birth. They can put excessive strain on your lower back.
  • Don't sit cross-legged or lie down on your stomach until you deliver your baby.
  • If you are not cleared by your doctor to do inverted poses like headstands and handstands, don't try them.
  • Limit your practice to 30 minutes per day.

Yoga can be continued during pregnancy, if you're at the right stage. Your doctor can help you decide when it's time to start practicing yoga.
