## About Yoga for Motherhood

My own return to the mat began five weeks after my C-section, and it looked nothing like my pre-baby routine. We focus on listening to your body’s specific signals rather than forcing shapes. Whether you are recovering from childbirth or just looking for a moment of quiet, I help you build a sustainable rhythm that adapts to your reality, not the other way around.

The biggest misconception about postpartum yoga is that you need an hour of uninterrupted silence to make it count. My approach is different. When we work together, we prioritize what your body actually needs, whether that means working through C-section recovery, soothing pelvic floor tension, or simply finding the mental space to breathe. 

My practice is rooted in the Ashtanga system, but I adapt every sequence to match where you are today. If you are exhausted and can only manage 15 minutes, we do 15 minutes. If you are ready for a stronger flow, we build up to it safely. 

### How We Approach Postpartum Recovery

*   **Foundation First:** We start with gentle alignment work, prioritizing core engagement and breath awareness before jumping into complex postures.
*   **Online or In-Person:** I offer 1-on-1 coaching via Zoom for those needing flexibility, and in-person sessions across Delhi for those who prefer tactile, hands-on adjustments.
*   **Personalized Pacing:** There is no 'standard' recovery timeline. We move at your pace, adjusting sequences based on your energy levels, mood, and any physical limitations.

Yoga should be a tool that supports your life as a mother, not another source of pressure. We will explore how to integrate movement into your day, making your mat a place of restoration rather than another task on your to-do list.
