Four gentle stretches to help your body recover.

By Eliza Hayward from Divine Flow Yoga

During this tender time of healing, recovery and rather large adjustment to the arrival of your baby, our self care routine or any kind of routine has most likely not yet been established nor should it.

We often hear, ‘What kind of sleep routine is your baby in?’ but how wonderful would it be to hear from other women, ‘What is your self care practice post baby?’

Give yourself permission to be in the now and in the slow. It can be so refreshing and empowering to read that you simply just don’t need to do it all.

Here is a practice dedicated to the mother that is ready to roll out her mat and fumble her way to the ground to take a slice of stillness for herself.

As a mother of two, I quickly learnt how powerful a practice was for my mental state, to help ride those early foggy days with calming and steady breaths.

Complete your practice by rolling out your head in circular motion on both sides.
