Mat Matters Yoga Videos, Episode 76: How to Modify Your Vinyasa Practice When You're Pregnant

​
​Mat Matters is back! I missed February's video because I have been just so gosh-darn exhausted that I didn't feel up to being on camera, but this week I knew that it had been long enough, so I made it happen ;) 

And obviously, my first video back (since the cat is now out of the bag) is about yoga + pregnancy!

Since announcing that I'm expecting, I've gotten a lot of emails and messages from fellow yogis + readers who want to know more about practicing vinyasa when pregnant: how do you modify? Is it safe? Can you keep practicing vinyasa or do you have to go to Prenatal classes right away? 

The answer will of course vary from person to person (check with your care provider), but the easy answer is as long as you're having a healthy pregnancy and you feel up to it, you can continue practicing vinyasa yoga throughout your entire pregnancy, you'll just have to modify your practice a bit as your baby grows. 

So what should you modify and how? This video is meant to help with that. It's a little on the longer side (as compared to my usual videos), but that's because I wanted to be sure I gave you all the info you need.

Enjoy!
