Awoman’s life postpartum is a hectic mess. Whether she is working or not, her life turns a full 360 degrees with the arrival of a child. Lunch is eaten in instalments, laundry happens once a week, and sticking to a workout schedule or having one at all can become impossible.
Gentle yoga can be performed at any age. For newborn babies, minor stretching and movement of the arms and legs are beneficial. I usually recommend asanas like the Apana-Asana (Knee-to-Chest Pose) for newborn babies.
There are plenty of benefits for mom and child: – Improved digestion – Develops motor and sensory skills in the babies – Promotes better sleep – Improves blood flow and opens-up the body – Helps ease new parent jitters – It helps you and your new baby bond
