I used to do sudarshan kriya regularly before and it really kept me calm. Now im in first trimester and not sure if all that breathing is safe to continue. Did any of u keep doing it, plz share.
Oh, please be super careful! I overthought every single stretch and breath during my pregnancy because I was so scared. Sudarshan Kriya has that fast breathing round which honestly worried me, so I didn't do it. Definitely check with your gynac or an certified prenatal yoga expert before you try it.
Beta, during pregnancy you should avoid any heavy or fast breathing exercises. Traditional light pranayama and slow deep breathing are much better and safer for the baby. Always do simple home remedies for relaxation, like drinking warm milk or listening to soothing music.
When I asked about doing my regular breathing exercises, my parents were very protective and suggested I do only light meditation. They would sit with me in the garden for fresh air every morning. It's sweet to have family guidance, so maybe check with your elders and doctor before doing anything heavy.
Gentle breathing and basic yoga really helped me stay fit for my normal delivery, but I stayed away from intense breathing techniques. Sudarshan Kriya has rapid breathing phases which might not be safe now. Stick to slow, calm deep breathing—it works wonders for relaxation!
I used to do Sudarshan Kriya regularly before conceiving, but during my pregnancy, I stopped doing the fast breathing part entirely. I only did very gentle breathing and meditation that felt safe for my body. It's always best to ask your yoga teacher what is safe for you.
