Gentle yoga is an ideal way to ease back into a fitness routine while recovering from pregnancy and childbirth, but it’s not for everyone and you shouldn’t feel pressured to start an exercise routine until you feel you and your child are ready.
Everybody is different. Every body is different. Every pregnancy is different. Every child has different needs.
You should also note that while it’s common to have a small degree of abdominal separation after pregnancy, anything greater than two fingers wide will need special consideration so you should always check with your GP or a qualified physical therapist to be safe before you begin.
Once you’ve spoken with your medical team and been given the all-clear to begin exercise, choosing yoga will reap many rewards your physical and mental health.
Yoga teaches us to breathe well, it can help us cope with overwhelming environments and situations and generally learn to relax. It can also help slow down involuntary movements as breathing well encourages more oxygen into the body which improves a wide range of things, including circulation.
If we can breathe well, we can learn to be in a calm state which sets us in good stead to manage life at home with a baby!
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite at home yoga tutorials for you to try with bub in the gallery below, and best of all some of them only take five minutes!
