yoga and dancing

Hello Everyone,

I particpate in hot yoga and I tribal dance several times a week. Surgery is tentarive for late July. How long after surgery until I can participate again? Both cause heavy sweating and im scared I will have to give them up due to fluid intake. These are my outlets that help keep my anxiety and depression in check. 

Thanks

For me - 6 weeks. I was only allowed to walk for that time and then I was cleared for everything. 

My doctor released my for full exercise at 4 weeks. That is when I started back my dance class. I took it really easy for first few weeks and tried not to jump, bend and really move my stomach area. I really sweat with this class and just make sure I'm getting more water on those days. Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

That is wonderful news! 

I was allowed to do cardio as soon as I felt up to it ~ a week out I slowly started getting back to more than walking.   Lifting weights was not until 6 weeks out.

I was also cleared for cardio right away - had to wait to do strength work for 6 weeks.  I started a tap and jazz class 3 weeks to the day of surgery, and made it through the whole hour.  I was horrible at tap, so ended up just doing jazz.  :)  I was wiped out after that class, but made it through.  Your classes may be a little more intense, so you'll have to gauge how you are.  Best thing to do is speak with your surgeon.  Good luck!
