In brief:
Safety b4 stretch
Yoga is a wonderful practice, and can be good right up to 36 weeks, if you are wise, gentle, and avoid pushing yourself to advance your practice or improve.
Make sure instructor knows you are pregnant and that the class is prenatal yoga! avoid compression of the uterus. Towards the end, avoid inversions.
