About this Book

Even as a mother who has practised yoga for many years, it can still be challenging to resume it after childbirth.

The first challenge is time. Mommy, especially a novice mommy, is always very busy, and always has to deal with multiple things at one time. There is not enough time to focus on the complete yoga practice sequence, and only fragmented time can be used to practice. 

Of course, the body of a new mommy has also undergone tremendous changes. When I did baby pose for the first time after giving birth, I was surprised to find that my back was so tight that my hips couldn't even touch my heels. Do the same as a beginner when doing Downward Dog and Standing Forward Bend.

Due to the absence of abdominal muscle exercises for 10 months, and the separation of the rectus abdominis(slung between the ribs and the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis) has not fully recovered, the core abdominal muscle strength is very weak at this time, far from being compared with prenatal.

Because I was still breastfeeding, the feeling of the prone posture was different from before, and I lost a lot of my previous awareness of the body.

In addition, there is weight gain, and it will take some time for the weight to return to pre-pregnancy levels fully.

Anyway, don't forget the essence of yoga, in short yoga is a connection, the connection of body and mind. We need to find the connection between our body and mind, and at the same time, we need to establish a connection with the baby. Including the connection with the baby's body, breath, energy, and spirit.

When you hold the baby, heart to heart, and let the baby feel the heartbeat frequency of the mother she is familiar with in the belly again, the feeling of energy exchange and resonance cannot be described in words, it is wonderful!

Just start doing it, don't worry too much about the difficulty and depth of the pose. Even if you can only do a few asanas, a few breathing or meditation exercises in fragmented time, it is better than nothing.

After the first six weeks, you'll find it easier to schedule some time for regular yoga practice. You’ll likely feel far more in control.
