What pose to be avoided?

What type of poses should be avoided during prenatal? This is a common question asked.
Prone poses ( anything that makes you to lie flat in the tummy and chest) are a big NO NO. Why do you even want to flatten the tummy huh?

All others such as twist, side stretch, standing, back-bend and forward bend--- can be done with gentleness.



Full Inversion, friend or foe? There are many debates about it. No doubt that I've seen pregnant warriors inverting themselves. BUT, only if you have been practicing yoga for a long time, even in the advanced level, experienced with inversion. 
Stay away, or modify the pose.

Prenatal yoga offers a great opportunity to practice with compassion and surrendering any ego-ness. All mums knows that, the last thing they want is to hurt the little one. Like i say, a pregnant body is incomparable to the body you once knew.

Some mums can be really hyper and active. Its good to be move--- also accept the fact that as the tummy grows, limitation sets in--- as much as not able to see your own feet and cut your own toe nails.
Be patient, slow down and enjoy the moments!
