[Kundalini Yoga] Re: KY during pregnancy

 

Sat Nam! And bless you for taking consideration of your pregnant student. I know very very little about Kundalini Yoga and have never practiced with a "real life" teacher, but having found KY during pregnancy, I can offer a little bit of info.

Avoid:
-applying the root lock (mul bandh)
-breath of fire and/or cannon breath
-twisting spinal/abdominal movements (in most cases)
-inverted poses after the first trimester

Wonderful Things to Do:
-spinal flex
-squats
-leg strengthening kriyas
-free movement

I would suggest to both you and your student Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa's book Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful (for pregnancy)and her pre and post natal DVDs. April Bernardi (Nirankar Kaur) has a new prenatal DVD as well, but I haven't viewed it yet.

As far as what you can find online, I am discovering that this is an area that is vague and not well covered. Pregnancy and menstruation with yoga.

Be blessed,
Kelli
