What Is Postnatal Yoga and Who Is It For
Postnatal yoga is a gentle form of yoga designed specifically to support the body and mind after pregnancy and birth. Unlike general yoga classes, postnatal sessions focus on recovery, stability, breath awareness, and rebuilding strength gradually.
This practice is suitable for mothers who have recently given birth, whether your delivery was vaginal or via caesarean, once you have received medical clearance to return to gentle movement. Sessions are adapted to your postnatal stage and any physical considerations you may be experiencing.
Supporting physical recovery after birth
After pregnancy, the body needs time and care to heal. Postnatal yoga focuses on gentle movements that support core stability, pelvic floor awareness, posture, and mobility. The aim is not to rush progress, but to help you rebuild strength in a way that feels safe and sustainable.
Emotional and mental
wellbeing
The postnatal period can bring emotional shifts, fatigue, and moments of overwhelm. Breathwork and mindful movement are used to help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and create space for rest and reflection within your week.
Gentle, responsive
movement
Movements are chosen to support recovery and stability, focusing on areas often affected after pregnancy such as the core, hips, shoulders, and lower back. Options are always provided so that you can work at a level that feels appropriate for your body on the day.
For mothers who practised yoga during pregnancy, postnatal sessions can gently build on the foundations established in pregnancy yoga. You may find it helpful to explore how postnatal yoga complements the approach used in pregnancy yoga sessions here.
