Brief Answer:
Can do asanas safe in pregnancy under supervision.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

In the normal situation, vigorous activity should be restricted during the initial months of pregnancy and also during the last trimester.

Yoga can be practised after the first trimester under supervision. There are some asanas specific to pregnancy and you can get a better idea from your instructor.

While you are trying to conceive, I would suggest taking a break to help proper implantation should pregnancy occur.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
