Hot Yoga Yay or Nay?

Question

Conflicted on hot yoga in the first trimester. We’re talking anywhere from 97 degrees to 103 degrees. I’ve read it’s not good over 102 degrees, and other things say no hot yoga at all….but I love hot yoga and do so much of it so I feel like my body is used to it! Of course I’m not doing it until I do more research. Just curious if there are other hot yogis out there and what you’re doing/have done?

Answer

It’s not the exercise that’s the problem, it’s the heat. I’d check with your doctor and the yoga studio. Even if your doctor says it’s fine, the studio might not let you as it’s a liability.

Answer

I also love hot yoga. But I wouldn’t do it during pregnancy. But yes ask your doc. Prenatal yoga 100%.

Answer

This would be a great question for your obgyn too.

Answer

I would say its okay because you're already used to doing it, so it wont put a strain on your body, but it really does need.to be talked about with a dr first. Good luck

Answer

i would ask your OBGYN, mine told me not to even though i was used to going too

Answer

Personally, I wouldn’t, especially in early pregnancy when the risks of fetal malformations related to heat exposure are highest. I would definitely continue non-hot yoga though! With appropriate modifications as you enter second trimester. 🙂

Answer

Thanks Y’all!
