Can you do yoga after a hip replacement?

Question by tpsullie: Can you do yoga after a hip replacement?
I have arthritis in my hips and am getting left hip replacement soon- certain yoga poses I cannot do now especially ones where I have to externally rotate hips-- is it possible to do yoga after hip replacement?

Best answer:
NO, the twisting, and bending past 90 degrees can cause dislocation. Your Doctor and you physical therapist after surgery will explain this. But after having my hip replaced, I'm here to tell you that you will not be contorting your hip after replacement.
