So about a week before I got a BFP I signed up for unlimited yoga for the summer. I went to two classes, then got the positive.
I asked my doctor about it, and she said there are some poses that I should avoid, so before each class I should ask the instructor what to avoid. She said that if they simply said "yoga is fine" in pregnancy, I should avoid going and wait until they offer their pre-natal class in the fall.
I emailed the yoga place explaining that I was pregnant, and asked if there was anything I should avoid, or if I should get a credit for what I paid and sign up for some pre-natal classes in the fall. I said I didn't feel comfortable asking each instructor at the beginning of class what to avoid, because I've been going with friends that do not know I'm pregnant.
I heard back today, and they suggest that I "listen to my body" to know what to do and what is too much. They didn't specify any specific poses or things to avoid. I'm kind of worried. I haven't done any yoga in over a year except these two classes, and I don't know if I'm good at listening to my body.
Should I just ask for a credit and sign up for a prenatal class in the fall? Other ideas?
ETA: also worried because when she replied to my email, I could see an email below from one of the other instructors saying "I don't know anything about pregnancy and yoga, any thoughts?"
but that probably won't be an issue until fall and then they'll have prenatal for you
