Needless to say, yoga is excellent for health. You should opt for yoga on a regular basis. It not only imparts flexibility to a body but also strengthens your mental health. Especially in pregnancy, yoga is a great way to a great body. It will keep you from putting on extra weight. However, there is much yoga poses you should be avoiding during pregnancy. Following are a few examples:

1. Plank Cross (Twist Variations)
If you’ve been doing twists prior to becoming pregnant, you may be able to continue doing them through your first trimester, but only if they feel good for your body. Beyond the first trimester, you should avoid them because they put too much stress on your belly.

2.  Plow Pose (Halasana) 
Plow pose is another great yoga exercise where you fold over and work on your core. But again NOT WHEN YOU ARE PREGNANT. This inverted pose as well subjects your belly to extreme stress which is not advisable with a baby bump.  

3.  Extreme backbends
A flexible back will not cause much harm to the fetus but if there is inadequate flexibility in back then you must restrain from these poses as they put you at risk of diastasis.These are especially dangerous in the first trimester as the baby is not firmly adhered to the uterus.
