Camel Pose
The camel pose is the best yoga after delivery to reduce the weight around the tummy, along with strengthening all the major muscles of the body.
Benefits:
The excess belly fat left over after delivery is a source of discontent amongst many new mothers.
How to Perform:
Kneel down on the yoga mat keeping your spine upright and knees below the hips. Slowly tilt backward while inhaling, touching your feet with your palms one after the other. Your shoulders, chest, and arms should be stretched with a significant arch formed on the lower back. Hold this position for approximately 8 seconds while breathing normally. Repeat eight times per session.
Scissors Pose
This move mimics the movement of a scissor in action and helps strengthen the abdomen.
Benefits:
It helps reduce belly fat and improve the flexibility of the hips and spine.
How to Perform:
Lie down on your back keeping both legs and both arms facing towards the ceiling. Move your left arm and leg upwards at the same time as you move your right arm and legs downward. Reverse the motion and repeat it five times.
Relaxation Pose:
This pose can be done as a replacement for a power nap.
Benefits:
It helps relax after a workout while stretching the area around the hips and groin.
How to Perform:
Place a pillow lengthwise on the mat and lie down on it. With your head placed on the upper edge, close your eyes and breathe deep and slow. You should begin to feel relaxed very quickly.
Yoga can help a woman’s post-pregnancy body to closely resemble her pre-pregnancy form. It is to be noted. However, six months should be given to the body to recover from pregnancy before initiating yoga.
