Workout in first trimester.. Yoga?

Question

Just found out I was pregnant and I'm not quite at my goal weight I wanted to be at before I had baby number 2... So I figured working out throughout the pregnancy should help bounce back into shape! What workouts should I avoid. I had started doing yoga like handstands, side crows, headstands, etc. any of those safe during first trimester?

Answer

As a yoga teacher in training. The major inversions are contraindicated for pregnancy, unless you have a very strong practice in them. I would say avoid major twists and inversions because the placenta isn't fully formed and the baby is "setting" in your womb in a way. You can still maintain a practice but I would overall listen to you body but error on the side of caution. Yoga can help you maintain strength and help you feel better overall. Also make sure to let your teachers know before class that you are pregnant and they will give you any modifications they find necessary.

Answer

I found a simple prenatal yoga workout on YouTube that I love! Go on and search for Body Talk Pregnancy Yoga. She has a bunch of ten minute episodes. Try that for stretching purposes and lots of walking!
