Yoga for post-delivery weight loss!


You can start yoga after childbirth but there are few things to be taken into consideration before you start practising yoga asanas.

Yoga or for that matter any exercise post-delivery need to be done under the expert guidance of your doctor and a trained physiotherapist who will be able to guide you through the right postures. So if you are planning to do yoga after a C-sec delivery remember to have yourself thoroughly checked and a get an all-ok certificate from your doctor before you proceed to do yoga.

If you have had a vaginal birth, then your doctor will probably advise you to wait for 6 weeks before you start yoga or any other exercise. You may start with easy warm-up yoga poses and gradually go on to stretches again depending on your comfort levels.
