The Third Eye, one of the seven chakras is our intuition. This energy center is unique. It combines memories, fears, facts, and memories to help us decipher what we believe to be true. We are able to sense when something is true or not true and we can act on these feelings. But, our intuition must not interfere with any other chakras.

Can I do yoga during pregnancy?
Some poses may be unsafe if you're pregnant. Before you start a new exercise program, consult your doctor.
However, there are many poses you can still do during pregnancy. These are some suggestions:
-
It is not a good idea to lift heavier than shoulder-level weights for pregnant women. Instead, use lightweight resistance bands or dumbbells.
-
Avoid deep twists, as these could put pressure on your belly.
-
Try to avoid backbends until you give birth. These can cause excessive strain on your lower back.
-
Before you deliver your baby, make sure to not sit on your stomach or cross-legged until the delivery.
-
If you are not cleared by your doctor to do inverted poses like headstands and handstands, don't try them.
-
You should limit your practice to 30 min per day.
Yoga can be continued throughout pregnancy if you are ready. Your doctor can help determine when you are ready and when to stop practicing yoga.
