surgery – when to restart classes?

Hello!

If you have been doing yoga up until your surgery then chances are your healing has been fast-tracked! Getting back will probably help too.

What I suggest is waiting until any incisions are waterproof. That is, wait until you know that they are healed over enough not to be affected by moisture. Of course any tenderness in the breast area may make the belly down poses difficult. Well actually only Locust/Salabhasana and sometimes just lying on your tummy for Savasana. If you are feeling tender lying with your full body against the floor but can do everything else, then lie on the floor with your arms folded under your head and the pressure on your chest will be relieved. Other than that I am not sure what other reason would keep you away.

Do yoga!

Namaste

Hey yoga20082008, just wanted to see what your experience was like getting breast augmentation and then returning to yoga. How long did you take off of yoga, and what struggles did you have when you returned? I’m thinking about getting a breast augmentation but they recommend taking one month (!) before any physical activity, and that seems just crazy to me! Anyway let me know what you experienced!
