It's essential to consult your healthcare provider before beginning yoga, especially if you've had a sedentary lifestyle or are experiencing a high-risk pregnancy (e.g., twin or multiple pregnancies). Most women avoid starting prenatal yoga in the first trimester due to the significant physiological changes and adjustments their bodies are undergoing. Miscarriages during this time are often due to chromosomal or uterine abnormalities, unrelated to external factors.
Traditional wisdom sees pregnancy as the presence of a new soul. Yoga during this time strengthens the vitality and cosmic connection between the mother and the baby. Key practices include maintaining vitality, fostering happiness, and focusing on breathing and meditation.
