I’m in complete awe when I see pregnant yogis doing inversions on Instagram, but I am absolutely scared doing them myself. I feel like I’ll fall and hurt myself and the baby.
Hi Irene, I felt the same way during my first pregnancy, but my second one was totally different.
Do whatever feels good and stay safe. If you feel that skipping inversions is best for you, don’t worry. You’ll have plenty of time practicing them after the baby is here 🙂
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I think I will stick with them but only gently walking up a wall to a stand then walking back down the wall. Really eases the tension off my hips
Hello, thanks for your input. As long as you feel strong and comfortable, you should be fine.
That is a great option! Another alternative that you can try is propping your feet on a chair (with your back facing the wall if necessary) and lifting one leg at a time. This way you’re getting the benefits of the inversion you’re practicing, yet, not putting too much pressure on your body. Make sure it’s a good and sturdy chair before you do so.
Congratulations and stay safe!
