Gentle Postpartum Recovery Yoga in Bangalore
You do not need to rush back to your old self. My postpartum sessions focus on gentle core rebuilding, shoulder relief, and finding calm, using props to support you exactly where you are today.
We can relieve common postpartum back, neck, and shoulder pain with simple, supported stretches. Here, I demonstrate wall stretches and a modified Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose) with a strap to gently increase your range of motion and improve posture.
This video shows the first part of a leg mobility series perfect for new moms dealing with joint pain or stiffness. I demonstrate how to use props like yoga blocks to support your body in stretches, making these postpartum mobility exercises accessible and effective.
This is the second part of our leg mobility series, focusing on hamstring stretches and hip mobility. These movements are designed to be gentle yet effective for your postpartum recovery, helping to release tightness and build strength with control.
Hip opening is a crucial part of postpartum healing, helping to release tension stored from pregnancy and childbirth. This sequence shows various hip opening practices, including using a yoga strap to gently deepen the stretch without straining your body.
About Gentle Mobility for Postpartum Recovery
We prioritize your physical reality by using household items like cushions and belts to modify every pose. Whether you are dealing with Diastasis Recti or persistent shoulder aches from breastfeeding, we focus on safe, supported alignment that respects your unique healing timeline rather than pushing for fitness goals.
Postpartum recovery is not a race. Many new mothers feel pressured to return to intense fitness regimes, but your body needs stability and gentle movement to heal effectively. My approach centers on Sthira (steadiness) and Sukha (comfort), ensuring that every session is tailored to your energy levels for that day.
Focusing on Your Specific Needs
- Core Restoration: Post-birth, the pelvic floor and abdominal walls—often affected by Diastasis Recti—require specialized, low-impact attention. My classes incorporate Nauli Kriya adaptations and targeted pelvic floor engagement to help you rebuild strength from the inside out.
- Pain Management: If you are breastfeeding, hunching over leads to significant tension in the neck and shoulders. We use specific wall stretches and modified flows to open the chest and relieve this common strain. I teach you how to adjust your posture to minimize discomfort during daily baby care.
My Approach to Practice
You do not need expensive equipment to start feeling better. I guide you through using everyday household items like dupattas or pillows to make poses sustainable and accessible. Whether you join my live virtual batches or visit our studio spaces in Koramangala and Electronic City, the focus remains the same: a non-judgmental space to move, breathe, and process the emotional shifts of motherhood.
