Yoga and Pilates are great exercise regimens, but they use a great deal of core muscles (abs and back) which are sore post op and your surgeon will probably put limitations on straining for up to 6 weeks. Even with the water exercise classes, I declined the abs work out for at least 6 weeks. Check to see if there is a YMCA or aquatic center. My hospital has a rehab center and it has an indoor pool which is where the classes were given. Good luck!!!
