Postnatal yoga helps you gradually return to movement, taking your recovery and how you feel into account. Exercises for your core, back and legs are combined with rest.
In this 15-minute class, you'll try “Low Side-to-Side Weight-Shift Kriya”, “Alternating Leg Movement in Four-Limbed Staff Pose” and “Seated Forward Bend”. In the seated forward bend, you'll feel a stretch along the backs of your legs. Fold forward smoothly, without jerking. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
Discuss when to start exercising and how much to do with your doctor. If you have diastasis recti, pain, or pelvic floor issues, choose exercises to suit your individual needs and avoid movements that cause discomfort.
