Hello, six weeks post surgery, I still have quite a lot of swelling around my breast. I did yoga before surgery and want to start again, hoping it might help with the swelling. Can anyone recommend a good utube link safe for post surgery?
I was warned against doing any yoga for a full 3 months post mx. And when I returned (that was when we had classes, seems years ago!) my teacher sent me home early when she planned the first few lessons involving weight bearing, so she planned cat/cow and downward dog late in the practise. She just told me to relax instead of joining in and then to quietly leave.
so beware any weight bearing yoga for at least a further rew weeks, probably 10 weeks till you can safely do any, and cut back if you find any stress on the op site.
Yoga with Adrienne seems a popular go-to, though.....but AVOID till you’re further on....
Hugs xxx
