Do you plan to continue your yoga practice after baby arrives? Great. Whether you are going to a planning on going to a Postnatal Yoga class or your favorite normal Yoga class, yoga brings a lot of benefits to a new mom.
Postnatal Yoga, like prenatal yoga, has physical and emotional benefits. I strongly believe the most important benefit is community. New moms need community so much. Life as a new mom can be lonely and overwhelming. Meeting once a week with fellow yoga moms and their babies can help you grow and figure out this new life!
The physical and emotional benefit of postnatal yoga include:
- Helps reduce anxiety and depression
- Restores the core strength
- Realignment of the spine
- Helps close separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Relieves stiffness in the shoulders
- Strengthens pelvic floor muscles
- Strengthens abdominal and back muscles for core strength
- Promotes relaxation
- Improves blood flow
- Detoxification
- Promotes hormonal balance
- Stimulate cell growth and repair
- Maintains flexibility in the spine and joints
- Renews energy
- Aids bonding between mother and baby
- Providing support
- Healing emotionally after a difficult pregnancy or birth
