Can I do yoga during pregnancy?
Your ability to safely perform certain poses can be affected by pregnancy. Before starting any new workout routine, you should consult your doctor.

Until you deliver your baby, don't lie on your stomach or sit cross-legged.

Make sure you have your doctor cleared you to perform inverted poses (e.g., headstands or handstands).
