I've always loved doing surya namaskar as part of my routine. Now that I'm in early pregnancy, I'm not sure if it's safe to continue. Can we do surya namaskar in the first trimester?
I love my workouts, but Surya Namaskar involves belly-down postures and deep backbends which are not safe early on. I only did light walking and prenatal-specific yoga after my doctor's clear nod.
My doctor explained that during the first trimester, the embryo is still implanting, so heavy core stretches are risky. Modified prenatal yoga is fine, but standard Surya Namaskar should be avoided.
I am still trying to conceive and trying to learn yoga safely. I have heard that we should avoid deep backward bends like in Surya Namaskar once we conceive, just to be safe.
Having PCOS made my pregnancy journey very unpredictable, so I didn't take any chances with workouts. I completely skipped Surya Namaskar in the first few months to avoid any stress.
Please check with your gynac before doing any yoga steps, especially Surya Namaskar. Early pregnancy is very delicate, and certain stretches can put pressure on your uterus.
I panicked when I did a couple of stretches early on, but my doc assured me that gentle movement is fine. However, she told me to avoid full Surya Namaskar until the second trimester.
Your body is going through so much right now, mama! It is totally okay to take a break from intense yoga. Just rest and do very gentle walking for now if you feel up to it.
Better to keep the yoga mat aside for a bit! 🧘♀️ Surya Namaskar has some deep stretches that might be too much right now. Stick to happy walks for now! 💓
After my IVF journey, I was incredibly careful with physical activities. I would suggest holding off on Surya Namaskar right now to protect your precious little one. Better safe than sorry.
Oh dear, I would be too anxious to do Surya Namaskar in the first trimester! What if a posture causes strain? I think it's better to stick to simple breathing exercises for now.
I had some spotting in my first trimester, so my doctor completely put me on bed rest. I would highly recommend not doing Surya Namaskar without your doctor's specific permission.
Look, early pregnancy is not the time to show your gym skills. Skip the Surya Namaskar for now. Stick to normal walking unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Hey, I am in my first trimester too and I was wondering about this! My doctor told me to avoid any posture that squeezes the abdomen. Did your doctor allow any modified versions?
Honestly, I barely had the energy to get out of bed, let alone do Surya Namaskar! If you feel energetic, just go for a light stroll and save the yoga for later trimesters.
Listen to me, early pregnancy is the time to let the baby settle properly. Avoid the intense stretching of Surya Namaskar for now; you can start modified yoga later once your doctor says yes.
