avoided. Instead, start to
practice deep inhalations
through the nose and exhale
through the mouth.
6. Inversions
Doing inversions, lets
you turn yourself upside
down. You can avoid doing
this, just to avoid falling,
and if you are not super
comfortable with inversions,
this is not the time to work on
them.
7. Avoid Locust Pose
(Salabhasana)
This pose and any other
related poses, such as
cobra, that have you lying
on your belly put a lot of
pressure on your belly
and need to be avoided
throughout your entire
pregnancy. 9.Abdominal work
8.Back-bending Yoga postures that are
abdominal strengtheners,
such as boat pose, low boat
pose and other crunch-
type poses should be
avoided. This could increase
the severity of diastasis
recti (abdominal muscle
separation). As your belly
expands, it is difficult to
support the weight with your
abdominal muscles. Do not
worry about getting your
ABS back in shape.
During pregnancy, it is
recommended to avoid deep
back bends, like full wheel
pose and even forward
bends. Folding forward can
compress nerves and blood
vessels, that connect to your
uterus.
Instead, keep the flow, by
separating your legs like in a
Wide-Legged Forward Bend
position, to make space at
the top of the thighs. Over
stretching in this area could
also put you at risk for
diastasis. Instead, stick to
easier back bends such as
the variation of Camel that
you can even do with one
arm lifted.
10. Plow Pose
Plow pose and other related
exercises that, have you
folding over, can put too
much stress on your core.
