Post-natal yoga
In the West there is enormous cultural pressure on women to get back to “normal” after having a baby, You may be encouraged to do vigorous exercise in order to re-gain your pre-pregnancy figure as quickly as possible. In my opinion, this seems to be a peculiarly negative approach to motherhood, and one that should be avoided. Not only will you never be the same as you were before (you have just undergone the most profound change possible for a human being!) your baby needs you to be relaxed and nurturing rather than exhausted and muscle-bound.
Post-natal exercise needs to be measured and gentle. If you are breastfeeding, your tendons and ligaments are still soft, and deep stretching is inadvisable. When you stop breastfeeding you may wish to return to the Primary Series (the forward bends and bandhas will help you to restore a core of strength in your body), or you may feel, as most mothers do, that combining the demands of Astanga yoga with the duties of parenthood is not really practical in the early years.
