Is postpartum yoga good for your body?

Postpartum yoga is currently one of the most popular fitness exercises, mainly because of its graceful and elegant movements that can help to please the body and mind. Now more and more women are willing to practice yoga during breastfeeding, and want to promote physical recovery in this way. So what kind of benefits can it bring to pregnant women? Let me analyze it for you below.

1. Improve leg edema. During pregnancy, the fetus may compress the veins in the lower limbs, causing leg edema and even varicose veins in the lower limbs. Practicing yoga after childbirth can strengthen limb strength and improve problems of lower limb edema and varicose veins.

2. Prevent breast sagging. Postpartum yoga exercises can also ensure that new mothers have sufficient milk and provide their babies with benign, joyful and healthy milk. At the same time, it makes new mothers' breasts firmer and more elastic, and prevents breast sagging after breastfeeding.

3. Lose weight. Postpartum yoga can improve blood circulation throughout the body, help restore skin tension and reduce fat accumulation, and has the effect of slimming and weight loss. Especially in the first 6 months after delivery, which is the golden period for body recovery, mothers can seize this time and combine yoga exercises and yoga vegetarian nutritious meals to achieve better results in weight loss.

4. Rebuild pelvic muscle tension. After childbirth, the pelvic muscle tissue relaxes and its tension weakens. Moderate yoga training can not only enhance the elasticity of the perineal muscles, promote uterine contraction, prevent the uterus, bladder, and vagina from falling, and restore the uterus to its normal position, but also strengthen the pelvic muscles to increase the support strength of the pelvic organs and prevent the occurrence of stress urinary incontinence.

In addition, the editor recommends that mothers who are learning yoga for the first time should follow a professional teacher to avoid hurting their bodies due to some movements.
