Postnatal Yoga

Postnatal Yoga
(After Birth)

Postnatal Yoga helps new moms restore strength, heal the body, ease stress, and bond with their baby—gently guiding you back to fitness, flexibility, and inner calm after childbirth.

Key Points

Asana Focus

• Pelvic floor activation: Pelvic tilts, Kegels
• Core rehab: Modified Boat, Bridge, Dead Bug variations
• Shoulder/neck stretches (for breastfeeding posture)
• Gentle backbends and twists

Pranayama & Relaxation

• Long exhalations to activate parasympathetic system
• Meditation for sleep and emotional regulation
• Mantra (e.g., “I am supported,” “I am healing”)

Timing

• Wait for medical clearance (usually 6 weeks after vaginal delivery, 8+ weeks after C-section)
• Begin with gentle movement and breath

Avoid

• Strong core exercises (planks, crunches) until diastasis recti is healed
• Deep backbends or anything that strains healing tissues

Mother-Baby Bonding

• Baby-and-me yoga (if appropriate)
• Eye contact, gentle touch during practice

Community Support & Mental Health

• Encouraging mothers to share experiences
• Referrals if signs of PPD appear
• Self-compassion practices
