Hot yoga and pregnancy... is it safe?

Question

pregnancy... is it safe?" /> 
I am a hot yoga lover!  I just found out I’m pregnant and am not sure whether or not I should go to my class tomorrow. Thoughts?
For those that don’t know, it’s yoga with the temp cranked to about 100 degrees.

Answer

You don’t want to raise your body temperature while pregnant.  Normal, pre-natal yoga I would do, but nothing that isn’t specifically for pregnant women, personally.

Answer

I wouldn’t, but maybe call the instructor and see if they have some specific insight on it.

Answer

My doc just told me no hot yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️

Answer

You shouldn’t be in a temperature that’s hotter than your normal body temp because it makes your heart rate fasten and so it does the same for baby’s.

Answer

I just started hot yoga 2 weeks ago and my teacher is 36 weeks pregnant! she just stopped teaching the class last week because she's just wanting to relax before baby gets here. she said if you've been doing it before you go pregnant you can continue to do it just listen to your body!

Answer

I’ve heard that not hot yoga. Regular yoga is fine. Good for you even. But hot yoga raises your temp too much.

Answer

You can do yoga but NOT hot yoga.
