Avatar f tn Absolutely! I personally avoid inversions, cause I'm don't feel stable enough and I worry I might fall. Also, keep your belly from putting pressure on it. For example, if you bend down, open your legs just a bit so your belly doesn't touch your thighs. I also don't like poses where my belly is on the floor (upward facing dog, sphinx, cobra...

Your face should be pointing the roof and your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.

Simultaneously, twist the left arm and move it backwards and upwards to touch the right arm.
Avatar f tn So officials are filming hundreds of yoga poses and translating ancient Sanscrit texts. They plan to send the results to patent offices around the world next month, the Washington Post reports. It's an outgrowth of a project called the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library, which was originally created to fight patents on traditional Indian medicine — like turmeric for wound healing, which received a U.S. patent that was later withdrawn after India objected.
Avatar f tn There is pregnancy poses as an alternative to a lot of the yoga poses that we should be extra cautious about. Look it up on the web. If you feel any discomfort at any time, take the child's pose, even though the others are doing something else.

Avatar n tn (I know it sounds strange, but many people are realizing the health benefits of yoga poses, especially those where the heart is positioned higher than the head.)

746818 tn?1233944362 I like your name. It makes you sound optimistic and we'll be optimistic that there IS something out there for you to do to safely burn calories! I would think that WATER would be safe, if you have access to a pool (like your local YMCA). Also, cycling is usually good as long as it is not weight-bearing. Most gyms offer indoor classes, even if the weather where you live doesn't permit year-round outdoor riding.
Avatar f tn stretch-look up prenatal yoga poses spend time doing the stretches. Some of my favorite are the warrior pose 1&2, pigeon pose.

Avatar f tn I try and I do some of the poses and stretches buuut I don't know if it's because my uterus is getting bigger and is sitting right on that nerve but it hurts terribly. I mainly try the poses that pull my uterus off my spine (momentarily of course) but I'm just scared that I might be doing a pose unsafely... That's why I do the class...

Avatar n tn Has anyone taken yoga during the 3rd trimester? This is my 3rd pregnancy and my last was with twins so my ligaments have stretched and it causes me so much pain.

Avatar f tn I shared with this a co-worker who experienced the same problem and figured she was getting gas lodged in the wrong parts of her body so she did gas relieving yoga poses when she was in pain. Her body was more likely to get gas from carrots, hummus, and edamame so you'll need to determine what foods your body can process. Now, I make sure I do yoga poses that relieves gas before bed and eat at least 2 hours before bed.

649848 tn?1534633700 Well, Ranaesheart suggested the other day that I do a post about yoga, since I suggest it whenever someone new comes into the community, so I'm going to give it a shot. I must confess, I am definitely a novice with yoga myself, but I learn more as I go along. I know there are several different kinds of yoga, ranging from what I do, which is slow and deliberate to another type that is very physical. Each kind of yoga has its own name and no, I don't know them all.

It provides me with reassurance that even though I 'think' I'm having heart problems instead of my gastritis, that reason can help intervene when I'm having attacks. I'll say to myself, "Ok, genius, if you're having a heart attack, how in the world did you just run 1+ miles, and felt great the whole time?
