Hi Ladies, I have a co-worker who is newly pregnant.  She did hot yoga pp -  opinions on whether its okay to continue while pg?  I know she needs to ask her OB, but in her (and my) experience, they are all over the place when it comes to exercise.  She's NOT considered high risk. TIA.

    While staying active during pregnancy is important, you must also be mindful of chosing a form of exercise that allows you to monitor your heart rate and body temperature. As much as I love hot yoga, you should be careful how far into your pregnancy you do it.

    A great form of exercise through all your trimesters, allowing a safe and healthy environment for you and your baby is swimming. I highly recommmend taking up the sport of swimming during your pregnancy.

    I would NOT recommend hot yoga. I went to a hot yoga class, not knowing it was going to be hot, at around 20 weeks and had to leave because I was so nausous, dizzy, and faint. I almost fainted in the lobby before making it to the car and it took a few hours to feel back to normal.
