3-4 months: It will likely be 3-4 months or more before your surgeon would let you push to extreme yoga positions. Incidence of recurrent instability after shoulder stabilization ranges from 5%-greater than 25%, depending on the surgery performed and the pathology fixed.

Depends: There are multiple shoulder stabilization procedures and each rehab varies. You may be able to do some components of yoga that do not involve the shoulder immediately, but on average you will have to careful with that shoulder for 6-8 weeks. Would definitely want to check with your surgeon. Thank you for your question.

3 months.: You should be able to participate in full yoga activities by 3 months following surgery. Re-dislocation rates after surgery are generally less than 10%.
