[QUOTE="sleepyheadzzz, post: 968053, member: 163119"] I don't think being diabetic will have an effect, but from what I've read, researchers do not recommend any pregnant women participate in Bikram yoga because it exposes the fetus to excessive heat for prolonged periods (I know my classes were always 90 minutes and I was usually in there for almost 2 hours from when I first walked in the room to leaving the room after the class ended). If you'd been doing regular practice before becoming pregnant it would probably be a bit more doable for a little while anyway, but I wouldn't try starting something like that 3.5 months into pregnancy. Having done it myself regularly off and on (not in the last few years) I can definitely see the appeal but I wouldn't risk it.
