The birth of a baby is the happiest event for mothers, but troublesome problems also arise. Many mothers experience these issues postpartum: weight gain, abdominal fat accumulation, and sagging breasts. As a result, many mothers begin to look for effective ways to regain their figure. Postpartum yoga can not only help mothers regain their figure quickly and consistently, but it also has excellent shaping effects. Below, we will teach you postpartum yoga step by step.
1. Half-standing posture with chest slightly concave
The tailbone was indeed sitting on the ground with the legs bent.
Inhale, tuck your chest in, relax your back, rest your forehead on your knees, place your hands on the tops of your feet, lift your heels, and hold the position for 10-15 seconds.
Exhale, lower your heels, lift your head and return your arms to your sides.
2. The "V" forward extension style
Stand upright, raise both legs forward, bend your knees, and keep your lower legs parallel to the ground.
Place your left hand behind your knee, extend your right arm behind your body, and lightly touch the ground with your fingertips. Hold for 10-15 seconds.
A little tip: It's okay if you can't get your balance right at first. You'll gradually find your body's balance point through practice.
3. The "V" Balance
Once you feel you've mastered the "V" shaped forward bend, you can extend your lower legs upwards from the previous pose and hold for 5-10 seconds. At this point, your groin area will receive even better stimulation.
The editor points out that in addition to excess fat and obesity, postpartum women also experience other issues such as stiff lower back muscles, loose abdomen, brittle and inelastic ligaments, and increased susceptibility to injury. Postpartum yoga primarily targets these aspects to help restore physical shape and abilities.
