s not high impact - no jumping or long distance running, for example. You can walk, hike, bike, do low impact aerobic exercise, yoga (carefully - certain positions you'll want to avoid), tai chi, swim, light weight training, etc. You'll probably be told not to lift anything heavier than 20 or 30 pounds, and to be careful to avoid falls. After my hip surgeries, I think my toughest task was to remember not to cross my legs at the knee.

Has anyone tried prenatal yoga? If so, what did you think of it? I want to sign up for classes but they're a bit pricey so I'm not sure if it's worth it.

It is caused by certain positions are usually associated with continually holding a poor posture either at home or at work.

i am 23 weeks and really havent gained weight however i dont think it is from the yoga i think its just me that im not gaining weight. I have a great instructor and it really helps with the stress and crazness of being pregnant. And its a wonderful bonding experience with your baby. I feel so close to my son. A lot has to do with the yoga intsructor, the way she relaxes the class and she knows just the right positions for pregnant women. I highly recomend it.

What yoga positions are of limits of actually number one on my list. I do yoga everyday and I'm not sure which ones I can't do.

If you like yoga but are having issues with some of the positions, maybe you could consider 1:1 yoga therapy. It's like PT, but yoga-focused. I do this weekly and love it! It's targeted just to me -- my yoga therapist works with me to find positions that work with Chiari and post-surgical issues. Also, there is a body work/massage component. I was able to get this covered under the exercise therapy portion of my chiropractic benefit.

I do have some rather severe health problems which limit the type of exercising I do however I absolutely love water aerobics and it is very easy on my body and joints. I.have degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis which makes it nearly impossible to run or even jog. Right now I can't seem to work a membership to a gym with access to a pool. Have any of you had good results with yoga or Pilate's? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in.advance.

I have had mild osteoarthritis in my right hand, of and on. Now I have knee pain, both knees, elbow pain, foot pain (orthotics (4 diff pairs) haven't helped). Not severe enough to take meds. Have been sleeping on a magnetic mat for 3 years. Doesn't seem to help. Have been going to osteopath, masseur, acupuncturist, nutritionist (treating inflammation). No real relief. Other issue (related?) is poor blood circulation (circulatory disorder). Not overweight (120lbs at 5'4.

Yoga is supposed to be very helpful for MS patients. My only caution would be, if you have lower back issues, certain yoga positions and movements can aggravate the lower back. If you do have back issues, you will know what to avoid just by seeing the position. Yoga is a great way to gain strength and flexibility. Let us know how it goes for you.

The fight over who owns yoga got a lot of attention a few years back when Bikram Choudhury said a series of yoga positions done in a room heated to over 100 degrees was his intellectual property. Legal fights ensued. http://www.npr.

Acupuncture can help as well as walking, certain yoga positions, sometimes sex, and also Clary Sage and Jasmine essential oils.

Wow, talk to your baby, "baby please come out" that's what I did when I was induced and wouldn't open more than 5cm after 3 days. They threatened c-section and I didn't want that. I lowered the epidural and changed positions. I talked to my baby and pictured her finding her way out with help from powers to be. Anyways whatever I did worked, because a few hours later, she found her way out naturally.

I want to increase flexibility and muscle tone. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent yoga/exercise DVD?

Anything else hurts my stomach. Walking and yoga is really good! Just be safe and research the positions- maybe visit with a prenatal yoga instructor so you know hands on what's best.

I'm a 50 year old yoga teacher and flight attendant and am due to have a Sacrocolpopoxy on 30th Dec. I had a vaginal hysterectomy at 37. I have come to terms with my operation but am really concerned about future yoga practice. At present I suffer no symptoms teaching and practising( probably due to constant attention to core and mindful movement) however do suffer symptoms when I fly and have been on my feet all day.

I traded in my chair for a yoga ball and did the downward facing dog yoga pose a lot. Those both helped him move.

Can twisting the torso and holding it as in some yoga poses cause damage to the pylorus or any other organ that might result in gastroparesis? Also, has anyone been able to control gastroparesis by chewing longer to more thoroughly pulverize food?
