Advantages of practicing yoga after childbirth

The advantage of postpartum yoga is that the supporting tissues and ligaments of the pelvic floor are in a relatively relaxed state, making it easier to complete certain postures. Regular and moderate yoga training helps new mothers eliminate the physical and psychological problems that arise after becoming a mother, such as physical recovery, insomnia, emotional changes caused by hormonal imbalances, and the battle they face in caring for newborns. Postpartum yoga includes various specific poses, effective breathing, and calm meditation, so that the new mother has a slim body shape, shiny skin, abundant breast milk, and full of physical strength.

Benefits of postpartum yoga:

1. Help tighten leg and abdominal muscles and reduce fat.

2. Tighten the chest to prevent sagging breasts after breastfeeding.

3. Relieve and treat postpartum cervical and lumbar fatigue.

4. Cultivate calm emotions and relieve postpartum depression.

In order to take care of the baby, the new mother is too busy to exercise, but the recovery of her body is also very important.

When you start exercising after childbirth, most people always think that it is just to lose weight. In fact, postpartum exercise begins during the confinement period and is very important. Yoga practice can not only enhance the elasticity of the perineal muscles, promote uterine contraction, prevent sagging of the uterus, bladder, and vagina, and restore the uterus to its normal position.

Postpartum yoga is an exercise that promotes blood circulation in the pelvis, whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section. Due to different production methods, the post-partum recovery situation is also different. Practice can be gradually started depending on your personal constitution. Many movements of post-partum yoga have the effect of slimming your body, protecting internal organs and soft muscles, and increasing elasticity. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
