Whilst yoga is by no means strenuous, we are always advised as teachers to take people following their first scan to be sure that everything is okay, and we are only insured to do just that. There is no evidence that yoga has brought on miscarriages, but as with most things during this early stage, it is best to be safe and to go easy. What you & your midwife decide is best for you is obviously completely your perogative, though I can not advise anyone to do yoga nor to use the dvd before 12 to 14 weeks.
