Rebuild Your Core and Tone Your Tummy After Delivery
Delivery changes your body, but you can feel like yourself again. I use these gentle, safe yoga flows to help new moms reduce the "belly pooch" and regain core strength at their own pace.
This is my personal journey of reducing my postpartum belly pooch in just two months. I show you the exact exercises, including planks and leg raises, that helped me regain my core strength.
Six months postpartum and still dealing with a belly pooch? Let's work on it together. This flow includes forward folds, Camel Pose, and Cobra Pose to start strengthening your abdominal wall.
This is a really effective flow to add to your routine for reducing belly fat. It combines powerful poses like Camel Pose (Ustrasana), Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana), and Bow Pose (Dhanurasana) to tone the entire core.
Part of my 21 days weight loss series, this flow focuses on toning the waist and core. I demonstrate an opposite toe touch exercise that targets the obliques and helps tighten the belly.
This dynamic flow from Downward Dog (Parvatasana) to Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) is a powerful way to engage and strengthen your core and reduce belly fat. I guide you on how to hold the pose for maximum benefit.
A simple yet effective exercise for lower belly fat. I explain how to coordinate your breath while doing single leg raises, inhaling up and exhaling down, to properly engage your deep core muscles.
Day 1 of my yoga for belly fat series. We start with foundational exercises like single and double leg raises, and holding the legs up pose (Viparita Karani) to build initial core engagement.
Day 2 of the belly fat series. Here we introduce variations like leg circles and bicycle crunches to challenge the core from different angles and improve abdominal toning.
How to get rid of belly fat? This video shows a combination of standing stretches and lying down leg raises to work on both upper and lower abdominal muscles.
Another effective sequence for targeting belly fat. This routine includes leg scissors, Cobra Pose, and Bridge Pose to create a well rounded core workout.
About Rebuild Your Core & Tone Your Tummy
Instead of rushing into high-intensity crunches, I recommend focusing on slow, mindful engagement. In my classes, we prioritize waking up your deep abdominal muscles and pelvic floor with steady movements before adding intensity. It is about reconnecting with your core and healing from within, rather than just forcing quick visual results.
Recovering from pregnancy is not about rushing into intense ab workouts. If you try to force results with heavy lifting or aggressive exercises too soon, you might end up causing more harm. My approach focuses on Sukshm Vyayam and mindful engagement. We prioritize safe, incremental progress that respects what your body has just been through.
Whether you had a normal delivery or a C-section, the goal is the same: reconnecting with your core. Many of the women I work with worry about Diastasis Recti. We use specific poses like Cat-Cow, Cobra, and supported bridges to gently close that gap and firm up the abdomen. These are the same sequences I relied on six months after my own delivery.
Consistency hi result deti hai, which is why my routines are designed to fit into a busy day. You do not need hours to see a change. Just 10 to 15 minutes of dedicated practice, where you focus on coordinating your breath with every movement, makes a massive difference in how your tummy feels and looks. We work on the obliques, the lower abs, and the pelvic floor, creating a balanced, stronger foundation. If you are ready to stop feeling guilty about your body and start healing it instead, let us begin.
