The abdomen should remain relaxed and soft at all times to allow room for the baby. Pregnancy can make you feel more tired than usual. It is essential to be aware of this and try not to do things to the point of fatigue. If you feel tired after yoga or any other physical exercise, it means that the practice has been faulty or that you have done too much. Signals such as pains, stitches, cramps, nausea, dizziness, headaches and contractions should never be felt during or after yoga practice.
Yoga generates energy, rather than dissipates it.
If you are new to yoga, the pregnancy class is the only class you should attend, for your and your baby s safety. If you have practised yoga for one year or longer, it may be possible to attend a regular class, provided you make a prior arrangement with the teacher. Please ask the office for a list of teachers that can accept pregnant students in their classes. It is very important, however, to be aware of the fact that between 10 and 14 week the risk of miscarriage is the greatest, and therefore you should not practise yoga at all during this time if you are a new student, and practise only restorative poses if you have done yoga for one year or more. Once you have had your baby, you can restart your post-natal practice at about six weeks after a normal delivery, but should wait about three months before coming to a regular class.
