question for christine.....

Body: 

christine,

just a quick question about your dvd. what part of it do i need to edit during my pregnancy? i am missing the workout, but don't want to put any extra stress on my fetus if i can avoid it. (in your book you mention no firebreathing, but is that all?) ......thanks so much -lalita

Hi Laita,

Anything that sharply increases or decreases (abdominal vacuum) intraabdominal pressure should be avoided during pregnancy. This includes firebreathing and nauli. I would also avoid the floor exercises in the dvd because they cause so much movement of the uterus. All the other posture reinforcing exercise is fine, as is the fancy footwork ;)
