I don't have advice to offer for hot vinyasa but I was a former Bikram student for 1.5 years (which I think is about the same as far as intensity goes.. once you feel hot, it's hot no matter what)... I stopped before TTC only because the heat started getting to me which was unusual. If all was okay, I would have continued Bikram even when I was TTC but would definitely stop once I was pregnant. If I were you, I'd still go (since you've been going for 4 yrs and used to the heat) but do monitor how you feel (ie... if you feel overheated, tired, etc.) I'd stop as soon as I felt anything out of the ordinary.

I've heard that Bikram yoga is "safe" through the first trimester if you've been practicing for a lengthy period of time (1 year+). I would assume that hot yoga would fall under the same precautions.

I think if you've been practicing regularly, then you should be fine. Your body is used to the heat. I also did hot power vinyasa flow yoga before I got pregnant. I continued practicing throughout my TWW until I got my BFP, although I took it a little easy during the TWW so as not to overheat. I ultimately ended up switching to prenatal yoga for the duration of my pregnancy, mostly b/c the first trimester hit me really hard, and there was no way I was going to be able to physically keep up with the hot power yoga class. Plus, there are a whole bunch of poses that you shouldn't do or that need modifications while you're pregnant. I felt more comfortable in the prenatal class where I was sure the teacher understood the appropriate modifications.

What a great post! We aren't ttc yet, but I regularly practice hot yoga and hope to continue to do so even while ttc. Like pp said, I'll probably switch to prenatal yoga while pregnant just because of all the modifications that would be needed otherwise.
