Starting yoga right after surgery, if you have not done yoga before, would be a terrible idea. Yoga students learn to listen to their bodies and know when to stop. If you were to jump into postoperative yoga without experience, you could hurt yourself.
Even if you are familiar with yoga, whether or not it could be beneficial in postoperative recovery for you is a matter for you discuss with your doctor.
In general, deep breathing and leg movement are the keystones to recovery, with gradual increases from day to day.
Deep breathing is the core of yoga. If you practice yoga, you know how to breathe deeply. Most yoga postures have something to do with exercising the legs. A knowledgeable patient could pick the postures that don’t disrupt the site of the surgery.
