For some people yoga (in Sanskrit - union, union, fusion) - spiritual perfection, for others - the religious and philosophical doctrine. However, along with the above, it is also a great opportunity to improve health, strengthen the body, and therefore become more harmonious and happy personality.
An example of this are the celebrities who practice yoga is not the first year. For example, Madonna says that thanks to yoga, it is now looking better than 20 years ago. And Sting, who visited the first yoga class in 1980 (where he is, by the way, in spite of the excellent physical shape, and could not do half-asana exercises) are now introduced a rule for all members of his team before the concert practicing individual exercises.
Lady Gaga admitted that yoga healed her from many illnesses, including anorexia and bulimia, and also picked up a wheelchair after a hip fracture. George Clooney says that "Yoga - the right kind of human activity, which comes in the second or even the third stage of his life." But Demi Moore is so successful in this practice that is even thinking to throw a movie and open a studio.
Actually, all of the above is to ensure that the pregnancy - not a reason to throw yoga or not to deal with it. Moreover, pregnancy - a good time to practice as yoga can not only achieve their own inner harmony, but absolutely normally make a healthy baby. And all because:

However, with all the obvious advantages of yoga, we strongly recommend to listen to your body, as in the classroom in any case should not be any discomfort and pain. If such feelings appear, the classes should be stopped immediately.
Be especially careful in the first 12-14 weeks of pregnancy. They are the most critical because of the fact that the body is hormonal changes, so the training program should be as soft.
