Coming back to practice after a c- section

Yoga Discussion General Yoga

Dear yogis,

I just have my first baby…i had a c-section and although doctors advise to have rest until at least 6 weeks after the operation I was wondering if there are any other yoga practinioners who have experience with coming back to practice after such a delivery?

I am really happy enjoying my son! I am finishing my education in teaching asanas.

Thanks so much,

Ailed

I’ve had 2 c sections and they tell you 6 weeks for a reason. Don’t push yourself before that. You can likely do some very gentle sitting poses but certainly not before about 3 weeks. Trust me, you are going to need all your energy in the weeks to come! Congratulations!
