Direct guidance
What to know or do
Tell the instructor, keep space to move, lower impact when balance changes and stop for warning symptoms. Avoid any class culture that pressures you to ignore pain or clinical restrictions.
What changes the answer
- Your previous experience, current pregnancy and any clinical restriction
- Fall, collision, overheating, altitude and breath-holding risk
- Pain, bleeding, dizziness, contractions, fluid loss or breathlessness during activity

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
