Experienced students may take regular yoga classes if they have been approved by their doctor. Please let the instructor know before class that you're pregnant. 

1. Avoid lying flat on your back for more than a few minutes.

2. Avoid lying on your belly (lie on your side instead, or rest in child's pose).

3. Avoid deep twists, for obvious reasons. Take "open" twists, sometimes twisting in the opposite direction of the class.

4. Don't stretch too much (ligaments are vulnerable because of the relaxin hormone), so focus on light stretching, breathing, and stability.

5. Take savasana propped up, or lying on your left side.
