Can i do sun salutation in second week of pregnancy?

Question

I just found out im pregnant, very very early. I used to do surya namaskar every morning before this and dont want to suddenly stop my whole routine. Is it ok to continue this early or should i hold off?

Deepa Rao · Answer

Surya namaskar has bends and belly pressure, so most prenatal teachers ask to modify or pause it in early pregnancy. Those very first weeks are delicate. I switched to gentle walking and breathing till my doctor cleared more.

I love yoga but in early weeks I kept it very light, no intense flows. Everyone is different so I wont say what is fine for you. Just run it past your doctor first to be safe.

Second week is super early na, I would be very gentle. Please check with your gynac before continuing your usual yoga. If they say go ahead, do it with a trained prenatal instructor only.
