My sessions focus on reconnecting with your core and rebuilding strength through breath, mindful movement, and specialized care. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Namaste. I created this series specifically for mothers recovering from a C-section. In this introduction, I explain how we will use simple, gentle exercises like the pelvic tilt to awaken the deep abdominal muscles and address the "C-section overhang" with care and body confidence.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3137e213-c05d-4005-a94a-6f8f909dbdc5) - ![The journey of healing starts with a single, conscious breath.

My classes in DLF Phase 4 are built around the idea that true core strength begins with breath, not aggressive crunches. ### Your Recovery Ritual True healing after a C-section is not a race. It is a ritual of reconnection. In my studio, we prioritize the pelvic floor and deep abdominal engagement using props like soft balls and resistance bands to provide the support your body needs as it knits back together. We do not use heavy machinery or reformers here; instead, we focus on mat-based Pilates and restorative yoga that you can eventually practice at home. ### Why This Approach Works - **Safety First:** We avoid high-impact movements that put unnecessary pressure on surgical scars. - **Mindful Engagement:** Using the 'pelvic tilt' and 'bird-dog' variations, we wake up dormant muscles without the burn-out. - **Supportive Props:** I teach you how to use yoga blocks and walls to make poses accessible, ensuring you feel stable and safe throughout the session. ### What to Expect My sessions are held in small groups of 8-12 students at my DLF Phase 4 studio, which means I can provide hands-on alignment corrections. If you are dealing with specific concerns like Diastasis Recti or lingering lower back tension, we address these through a personalized strategy during private sessions. This is about finding 'Sthira Sukham'—the steadiness and ease—in your new life as a mother. You are not just recovering, you are rebuilding a temple. ## About Komal Sodhi I’m Komal, and after 17 years in Gurgaon, I’ve seen that the best recovery isn’t about intensity—it’s about reconnection.
