How To

Can I do yoga during pregnancy?

Being pregnant can impact your ability to perform certain poses safely. Before you begin a new program for exercise, make sure to consult your doctor.

However, you still have many options for poses to be done during pregnancy. These are some tips to help you get started:

  • Women who are pregnant shouldn't lift more than shoulder height. Instead, try dumbbells and resistance bands made of lightweight materials.
  • Avoid deep twists as they could place pressure on your belly.
  • You should avoid backbends, at least until you give birth. These can strain your lower back.
  • Before you deliver your baby, make sure to not sit on your stomach or cross-legged until the delivery.
  • You should not attempt to invert poses such as handstands or headstands without your doctor's approval.
  • Your practice should be limited to 30 minutes per week

Yoga can be continued during pregnancy, if you're at the right stage. Your doctor will advise you on when you are ready to practice yoga.
