RESPeRATE use and pregnancy

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Mar 23 2007

Q: Can I use this system if I’m pregnant? Should my OB clear it first?

A: As a matter of principal, when you are pregnant you should clear any change from your normal routine with your Obstetrician. Clinical studies with the RESPeRATE have not been done on pregnant women but the effect of yoga on pregnancy has been studied (Narendran S- J Altern Complement MED-01-Apr-2005: 11(2): 237-44). It is felt that yoga during pregnancy, including breathing exercises, is beneficial.
