Gentle Postpartum Yoga for Healing (Weeks 1–6 After Birth)
Stepping into motherhood changes everything — your body, your energy, your heart.
The early weeks after birth are a time for rest and reconnection, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t movement you can start to do right away. These two short postpartum yoga practices are designed to help you rebuild your strength, support your recovery, and reconnect with your breath — safely and intentionally.
Whether you had a vaginal or cesarean birth, these postpartum yoga videos are safe, gentle, and nurturing, and can be started once you feel ready (even as early as week one).
Weeks 1–3: Gentle Postpartum Yoga (Safe After Birth)
This 10-minute class helps you:
🪷 Release tension in your neck, shoulders, and back
🪷 Reconnect to your core and pelvic floor through breath
🪷 Find moments of calm amid the newborn chaos
Even a few mindful breaths can help you feel more grounded and supported during these early days of healing.
Weeks 3–6: Rebuilding Strength & Confidence
By week three, you may be ready to explore gentle movement again. This yoga sequence helps you:
🌿 Rebuild strength safely in your core
🌿 Improve posture and reduce back pain from feeding and carrying your baby
🌿 Use breath to slowly bring your rib cage back together
Think of this class as your bridge — a way to move from deep rest to gentle rebuilding.
A Note for All New Moms
Your recovery journey is unique. There’s no rush and no “right” timeline. Always listen to your body and consult your care provider before returning to movement.
These yoga practices are meant to support you, not challenge you. Let them be an anchor — a few quiet moments to breathe, stretch, and remember that you’re still you underneath all the newness.
