Sheila/Cathe,
I was doing a lot of yoga before I got pregnant (power yoga). Lately, I've been feeling really tight in my lower back and legs, and I think that yoga would really help. I don't want to go out and get any special pregnancy yoga tapes - I'd rather just modify the tapes that I already have.
I'm wondering if there are any specific poses that I should avoid. I know that I should pay attention to my body and not strive to get into any overly intense positions, and of course modify the "corpse pose" so that I'm not flat on my back, but there are some other poses that I'm not sure about. Specifically I'm thinking about the "up dog" pose, or any other pose where your belly area would be stretched. Also, are there any restrictions on twisting motions? These normally feel fabulous in your back, but I don't want to be tying the poor munchkin in knots.
Any comments you have would be great!
Thanks,
m.
