I am actually a yoga teacher and specialize in prenatal and postnatal. In my

practice, I will not teach yoga to a student in her first trimester due to the

amount of internal heat that a yoga practice can create, even if it isn't

strenuous. There are also certain conditions in pregnancy that would be better

suited to private consultation with a certified yoga instructor and not a group

class, so I would consult with your midwife/caregiver if you have any

conditions.

My teacher has a website with a video of her first routine www.mamaste.com

Namaste,

Your concerns on yoga during first trimester are worth considering

and some answer is here:

 

http://www.womenfitness.net/yoga_during_preg1.htm

 

The internal heat is necessary for digestion (pachak pitta) as well

as generation of all subsequent dhatus to feed the embryo. If this

fire, heat or pitta is reduced, we have sluggish otr lack of

ovulation, limping periods and scanty flows leading to well known

infertility condition PCOS.

 

This authors previous post missed the connection of yoga to fertility

and successful conception of a strong healthy baby. It is explained

in this post.

 

The term Yoga does not mean only body poses. It also includes

breathing techniques, living a simple life of healthy rules for mind

and body as well as little meditation. Both poses and breathing

techniques are easy to practice.

 

The infertility is due to blocked energy channels which feed to

various glands (chakras) as explained at:

 

ayurveda/message/7217

 

Fertility is the net result of all glands working synergically under

the guidance and control of master gland pituitary. IN a way,

fertility is the very indicator of health itself. Thus anything which

improves health is also improving fertility. Most of the infertility

problems arise from disturbances in gland programming due to

disturbed energy channels. Hence accupressure/puncture is gaining

wide acceptance.

 

Now yoga techniques and breathing paranayamas correct the imblances

of energies in chakras, each chakra connected to specific glands as

described in:

 

ayurveda/message/7217

 

ayurveda/message/7328

 

The problems such as amenorrhea, PCOS are related to both lower

chakras and upper 4 chakras. As a drugless approach, one can use

breathing techniques described at the suggested site to correct the

imbalances. The improvement in menstruation period regularity, flow,

ovulation regularity, ovum strength, sperm count and motility have

been noted in those practicing yoga. Loss of weight also occured as

soon as liver and thyroid health was restored.

 

If one can not do these techniques, ayurveda has " Basti " to correct

the problems of PMS, Sterility of both men and women, amenorrhea etc

as per the assertion of a well known ayurvedic doctor:

 

ayurveda/message/7094

 

What is not described in above message is the use of Uttar basti to

correct ovulation problems, cysts, blocked fallopian tubes, uterian

scars, fibroids, polyps etc. Nature has rich source of herbs and

methods to address fertility issues.

 

If we study yoga, all organs start working in harmony and health is

100% guarantee. Recently (Middle 2006) Guru Ramdev visisted west and

tried to propogate the yoga philosophy. He teaches FREE, widely

available on TV channels at home globally.

 

Despite all said, the availability of a teacher in person is always

desirable, author agrees fully.
