Gentle Postnatal Yoga & Recovery
Postnatal yoga designed for your recovery, not just fitness. Join my gentle, baby-friendly sessions to rebuild core strength, heal your body, and find calm in the chaos of motherhood.
I often get asked when it's safe to return to yoga after birth. My answer is always to listen to your body first. This video shows my own gentle start with Surya Namaskara at five weeks postpartum. It's not about perfection; it's about showing up for yourself, even when things are messy, and slowly, mindfully reconnecting with your strength.
It means the world to me when clients feel supported and confident. This feedback from Dr. Sumukhi, a mom-to-be I worked with, highlights my commitment to providing safe, informative, and personalized guidance through every stage of pregnancy and beyond.
Pelvic floor health is crucial for postpartum recovery, helping with everything from back support to incontinence. This short video demonstrates two essential Kegel exercises that you can easily do at home to start rebuilding strength in this vital area.
Postnatal yoga with me is different from a typical fitness class. This graphic explains my core philosophy: focusing on gentle healing, short and impactful sessions, rebuilding the core and pelvic floor safely, and embracing mindfulness over perfection.
Addressing the 'mommy pooch' is a common goal, and it's absolutely possible with the right approach. This is a quick home workout sequence I used myself to safely tone my abdomen and rebuild core strength after pregnancy.
As a nutrition coach, I blend Ayurvedic wisdom into my postpartum care. This is my personal recipe for a postpartum tea made with Ajwain, Jeera, and other herbs known to support lactation and help calm the mind.
Your mental and emotional well-being is just as important as your physical recovery. This 10-minute yoga sequence is specifically designed to help reduce the symptoms of postpartum anxiety and depression by calming the nervous system and boosting your mood.
Whether you're a new mom or planning for one, I invite you to breathe life back into your journey. This is me, inviting you to join my online sessions for a gentle yoga flow that nurtures your body and calms your mind.
About Featured
I host my small-group sessions at 11 AM via Zoom with a 'Focus Mode' feature—you can see me, but other participants cannot see you. This means you do not need a tidy living room or perfect hair to join; you just need your mat and the willingness to take a moment for yourself, even if your baby is nearby.
Beyond the Workout
Motherhood is messy, and your recovery should be too. My approach is not about snapping back or rushing into high-intensity training. Whether you are dealing with the physical strain of Diastasis Recti, pelvic floor weakness, or simply the mental exhaustion of fragmented sleep, we go at your pace.
What we focus on
- Core and Pelvic Health: We use targeted movements like Kegels and bridge variations to support your bladder and back health. I emphasize safety—especially for C-section recovery—by providing real-time modifications based on how you feel that day.
- Baby-Friendly Practice: You do not need to find childcare to show up. If your little one is awake, they are welcome on the mat with you.
- Ayurvedic Nutrition: As a nutrition coach, I share practical, Ayurveda-inspired tips on foods that aid lactation and help replenish your energy levels naturally.
The Logistics
We keep sessions in small groups of 5 to 10 participants. This ensures I can actually see you and provide feedback on your form rather than just reading from a script. If you need more personalization, I also offer private 1-on-1 sessions where we can build a schedule around your baby's sleep cycle and your specific recovery goals, including custom diet charts for iron replenishment.
