Any thoughts on whether hot yoga is safe? My gym offers this but I know how hot I get without being pregnant I wonder if its safe to do pregnant.

    I have been told to stay away from it, because of the heat and the excess sweating it can reduce the blood supply to the fetus.

    My doctor said no hot yoga.  The heat can cause excess water loss which is not good for the baby.  She said that I need to stay very hydrated while working out so it is safe for me and the baby, and hot yoga isn't good.

    Unless you had a regular practice before you got pregnant, it isn't a great idea.

    I went to hot yoga 3-5 times a week before I got pregnant, and my doctor told me, it isn't safe during pregnancy.

    I practiced Bikram yoga pre-pregnancy and do continue and will continue to practice as long as I care to. There are three instructors at my studio who are pregnant and lots of students who are too. As long as you have a solid practice beforehand and know how to modify poses for pregnancy, there's no problem. 

    That said, it sounds like you haven't been practicing it pre-pregnancy, so I wouldn't suggest starting it now.
