I still researched what poses i should avoid for my own knowledge, and talked to the instructors beforehand and let them know how far along i was and asked if they would be doing any poses i should modify. Sometimes they forget there's a preggo person in the class. Avoid up dogs, backbends and crunches as they stretch the abs and can contribute to diastasis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-prenatal-yoga-make-you-want-to-fall-asleep#post-208851 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 12:40:28 +0000 Andrea 208851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: Hmmmm....maybe I should go to a regular yoga class and just tell the instructor that I am pregnant. Doing the DVDs at home are a total snooze fest and you're right, not a work out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-prenatal-yoga-make-you-want-to-fall-asleep#post-208697 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:15:19 +0000 Freckles 208697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with jholler25! i went to a few pre-natal classes and i left without breaking a sweat and bored out of my mind. i ended up just going back to my regular yoga classes and modifying poses as necessary.</p> <p>The nice thing with prenatal yoga is that it does help you with breathing and relaxation techniques, but i definitely wouldn't count it as a workout. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-prenatal-yoga-make-you-want-to-fall-asleep#post-208576 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 10:22:29 +0000 Andrea 208576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: it's good for me to stretch, breathe, and all that but perhaps it is too gentle, right?? :-)</p> <p>@purrpletulips: "pretty much any exercise makes me yawn" LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-prenatal-yoga-make-you-want-to-fall-asleep#post-208470 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:28:39 +0000 DillonLion 208470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would make me sleepy, but the room I practice in is SO freezing cold, that I can never fully relax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-prenatal-yoga-make-you-want-to-fall-asleep#post-208469 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:28:20 +0000 purrpletulips 208469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I yawned through the PN yoga I did but that could have been attributed to the time of day the class was. That and pretty much any exercise makes me yawn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-prenatal-yoga-make-you-want-to-fall-asleep#post-208444 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:11:25 +0000 PrincessBaby 208444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It feels good, but yes. Especially being an avid yogi before pregnancy...PN yoga is pretty yawn-worthy. I get the gentle-ness though...I have to modify A LOT in the vinyasa classes I've been taking...My belly isn't very big yet and already everything feels different, so I understand why PN yoga is so intentionally sleepy:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-prenatal-yoga-make-you-want-to-fall-asleep#post-208423 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:47:51 +0000 Andrea 208423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a big yoga fan but I did some prenatal yoga during my first pregnancy and I'll do some again this time around, but it just makes me sooooooo sleepy. Anybody else? </p>
