I know this topic has come up a few times over the years...so I'd like to refer to this as "Yoga During Pregnancy: The IF Version.".
I am currently in love with going to yoga class--I have an unlimited month-long "trial" membership and during most weeks have made it to between 3-4 classes. My trial is almost at an end...and I'm wondering if I should continue with an unlimited membership (which is much cheaper if you're going to at least a couple of classes most weeks) with a 3 month commitment...or if I should hold off for now and practice at home. I suppose I also have a third option..which would be to mostly practice at home, but to buy a multi-class pass (more expensive option), so that I can go to class once a week or so...
I should know by now that I shouldn't try to plan anything "because I might/will probably be pregnant by that time"...but I'm planning a FET in exactly 2 months...so if I'm not going to want to go to classes at that point, I'd be wasting at least 1 month worth of membership fees.
I'm feeling very ambivalent...I love how relaxed my mind and body can feel after yoga...I just don't want to be funneling energy and resources away from my reproductive functions at a critical juncture...and also don't want to be left wondering "what if" or worse yet, blaming myself, if things don't go as planned.
I should add that I'm taking beginner to Level 2 classes that feature some challenging poses and am doing an occasional Flow class (no hot yoga, no inversions). And I tend to be a bit competitive with myself, as in "sure I'm comfortable enough to add/adjust difficulty/remove support!"
Any advice, especially from the IFers?
