Postpartum recovery relies on yoga to shape your body and beautify your figure

After ten months of pregnancy, do you feel relieved after successfully delivering the baby? Ladies who love beauty, please take a look. If you want to speed up postpartum recovery and avoid uterine prolapse, it is not difficult to regain your former slim figure. In addition to good diet control, after the postpartum wounds recover, moderately engaging in yoga movements that help to shape the body and beautify the figure is also a very good way to regulate your body!

Postpartum yoga has many benefits! Body shaping + organ recovery, better resistance to depression

A Youxin Yoga teacher said that when mothers are pregnant, their abdominal muscles, ligaments, and uterus are stretched by the baby for a long time and become relatively soft and weaker than before. Therefore, it is important to restore the abdominal and pelvic organs and ligaments to their original state through moderate exercise. Among many sports, "postpartum yoga" is more suitable for postpartum women because it can effectively activate the abdominal and pelvic muscle groups, has gentle movements, and can be performed step by step.

The main purpose of "postpartum yoga" is to help the body recover and relax. In the early stage, it focuses more on breathing, stretching and other exercises. After the mother's physical fitness gradually recovers, further exercises are slowly added to achieve the purpose of organ recovery, body shaping and beauty. It has a good effect on improving postpartum abdominal pain, uterine repair and prevention of uterine prolapse.

Most importantly, "postpartum yoga" is not only beneficial to the mother's figure and physical recovery, but also can relieve the pressure of childbirth, prevent postpartum depression, and calm the mind through repeated breathing adjustments and relaxation. There are many benefits to moderate participation!

When is the best time to do postpartum yoga? The timing of cesarean section and natural birth is very different

How long after childbirth is it appropriate to perform moderate yoga exercises? Teacher Roe of Youxin Yoga explained that on the day after giving birth, mothers can do some Kegel exercises to help contract the perineum if their physical strength allows, to help the perineum recover.

As for overall muscle strength training, there are considerable differences depending on the production method. Generally speaking, if the mother gives birth naturally, she can resume normal exercise 4 to 6 weeks after natural birth, or 4 months after caesarean section, if her physical strength and physical and mental condition permits.

For mothers who have undergone caesarean section, in order to avoid accidentally pulling the wound during movement, it is recommended that they wait 3 months after delivery and after the wound has recovered smoothly before engaging in relevant training and exercise.

Repair your uterus by doing this! 2 Yoga moves you must learn

Moderate yoga movements have a good effect on the recovery of postpartum women. Teacher Youxin Yoga specially teaches 2 simple and easy-to-learn exercises, which are helpful for improving pelvic muscle strength and repairing the uterus, "Kegel Exercise" and "Leg Lift Exercise" for your reference:

Kegel exercises:

1. Lie flat on the bed without a pillow.

2. Lie your hands flat on the bed with your palms facing down, bend your legs and bring your knees together. Then lift your buttocks and squeeze your genitals for 5 seconds, then return to the original position and relax for 5 seconds. Repeat 4-5 times.

Effect:

The contraction of the perineum not only helps tighten the vagina, but also enhances pelvic muscle strength and promotes blood circulation in the lower body.

Note:

If the mother is physically fit and the wound is not painful, she can do Kegel exercises on the day after giving birth.

Leg lift exercise:

1. Lie flat on the bed, lift one leg, bring the knee close to the abdomen and hold it tightly, then pause for 5 seconds.

2. Stretch your legs forward, maintaining an angle of about 45 degrees to the bed, pause for about 5 seconds and then put them down, then switch legs and repeat the movement.

Effect:

Through the contraction of the abdominal muscles, the uterus that has sagged due to pregnancy and childbirth can be restored to its original position.

Note:

For women who gave birth naturally, it is recommended to do this exercise 2 to 3 weeks after delivery. For women who gave birth by caesarean section, it is recommended to wait 3 months until the wound has healed.
