Inversions & Jumps

Avoid all asanas that might require even a slight jump, as this may include the repositioning of the egg right from the first trimester of your pregnancy. Similarly, avoid all techniques that involve excessive breathing and its retention too. These techniques might more pressure on your abdomen than you realize. Other yoga poses to avoid during pregnancy include Pincha Mayurasana, Halasana, Salamba Sarvangasan, Adho Mukha Vrksasana and Salamba Sirsasana. These are inversions that should also be avoided.
