If the woman has no complications and everything in the pregnancy is normal, she can start with yoga at any time.Great care is taken with balance exercises where the woman could fall. Especially beginners should choose the exercises carefully and get advice from a yoga teacher. Nevertheless, relaxation exercises from yoga are always useful and suitable.
The woman should only take exercises in which she feels comfortable and a relaxing or beneficial effect is given afterwards. Due to the higher elasticity of the body during pregnancy, it does not have to be overstretched during stretching exercises and discomfort can worsen or occur. Stretching is used more for relaxation and well-being.
