I find out if I am pregnant or not tomorrow. Is it safe to continue doing yoga once a week? Is yoga a good exercise to do during pregnancy?

Yoga is great during pregnancy. It is fine to continue your workouts now, but after the first trimester when your body begins to change, you will want to switch to a prenatal yoga class or get some advice from a knowledable instructor about how to adapt your routine for pregnancy.

I attended a pregnancy yoga class when i was pregnant, and really enjoyed it. i stopped going when i was 8 months though. i went more for the social experience. you can attend a regular yoga class, but make sure the instructor knows you're pregnant, and that they have experience dealing with pregnant women. i cant say if it helped during childbirth, as i have only had one child, so have nothing to compare it with. my childbirth was natural, but that may have been luck. exercise during pregnancy is good for you. i would reccomend swimming, i attended a pregnancy swimming class and found it to be fun and much better than yoga. good luck!

i actually own a prenatal yoga DVD. its pretty hard to do once your big like me though. i just tried it a few days ago and gave up less than 5 min into the routine. i guess if you do it the whole time though, its probably easier. maybe if you find out that you are pregnant, you can switch to a prenatal yoga routine, so you dont have to give it up totally. Good luck and God Bless!

Yes, you can still do Yoga during pregnancy. Do it moderately and you will sure have a healthy baby. You will also regain your figure faster after pregnancy.

i think is yoga is one of the best & safest form of excercise to do during pregancny especially since it's so gentle and you don't need to force yourself to stretch beyond a comfort point.also it makes your muscles flexible and prepares your body well for labor. there lots of books on what type of yoga to do during pregnancy - get one

Absolutely there are even yoga classes for pregnant woman. If there isnt a class in your area you can find it on VHS/DVD.
