Posted by Maria Kondrashova on July 9th, 2019

Pregnancy yoga is not just a fitness trend among expectant women who would like to stay fit, toned, flexible and healthy. Although it is good practice that will prepare their bodies for labour and childbirth, women who have already given birth can continue doing yoga. Postnatal yoga in London is offered by reputable and seasoned instructors specialising in it. With their help, you can get the most from the exercise to help your body and mind recover from pregnancy and childbirth. Here are the top five benefits of postnatal yoga:

1. Strengthens your body – Postnatal yoga utilises relaxation, balance, and movement to make your body capable of recovering after childbirth. It may help repair damaged tissues and ease the side effects of heavy lifting, while building your stamina and strength, especially when you need to carry your growing baby and accessories like the car seat and pram.

2. Better for your recovery – Yoga is a low-impact exercise that does not require fancy exercise equipment. High-intensity exercises might make it difficult for your body to recover postnatal, making yoga a better choice. It can strengthen your abdominal muscles to restore them to a position that is closer to your body after you give birth. Pelvic floor muscles can also be stronger with yoga.

3. Relieve tension – Postnatal yoga sessions in London may be helpful in easing tension, tightness, and aches on your shoulders, upper back, lower back, and neck after giving birth. You can learn techniques that can improve and expand your breathing to calm your mind and spirit, while providing you with a sense of being able to reclaim your body and nurture yourself.

4. Restore your energy – Yoga can make you feel refreshed as it renews your energy levels. A session can be a good time to relax and rest, and it can provide you with some time off for yourself to nurture your soul and spirit, and quiet the mind.

5. Aid in the bond between you and your baby – Signing up for postnatal yoga in London may be the key to improving the bond between the infant and the mother. The exercises encourage positivity, so you feel more at ease with your child.
