Postpartum Yoga

The sickness, achy lower back, and fatigue of pregnancy have passed. But for new mamas, a whole other different set of physical conditions often accompanies the bliss of loving your little creation. Luckily, a few simple yoga poses address the most common concerns. "Our bodies are always in transition, so don't think that you have to be exactly the way you were before pregnancy," says Chitra, a Delhi India-based pre- and post-natal yoga teacher. "But you can expect to be healthy, vital, and strong again." And moms aren't the only ones who can benefit from yoga; a few basic moves for the wee one can make your new born baby more comfortable and calm.
