Yoga and band: any danger of slippage?

Sunta · July 31, 2007

Hi,

I really want to get into doing power yoga and I just took my first class. I really loved it, but I was wondering if there's any chance any of the poses or stretches could slip the band? They say it can shift your internal organs, so wouldn't this also increase risk of band slippage?

I would be terribly unhappy if I found out I couldn't do it, as I have finally found an exercise that I like!

Thanks for asking this question. Prior to my surgery I had practiced yoga for a year and a half and I really miss it. I am only three weeks post surg so obviously I have refained. I plan to talk with my surgeon at the six week fill visit and get his opinion. Yoga is fairly gentle-even when doing vinyasas (sp?) it is about flow and not about Jerky sudden movements. As all yogis know you have to be humble and realize your limits by listening to your body-I think this is even more important in our situation. Let me know if you learn anything more. Hope you get to enjoy yoga because it helps in so many ways.
