Rest Is Important

Numerous traditionalistic cultures abide by a period of rest for the recently delivered mother to afford her a period of recovery from childbirth and to enable her to bond with her newborn.
This gap normally lasts about 4 to 6 weeks and in Spanish, it is called "la cuarentena", or “the 40-day quarantine.” And doctors commonly advocate that new mothers wait about 6 weeks before restarting their normal yoga exercise procedures, and a couple of weeks more if they had a Caesarean section.

Once you return to your Yoga mat, refrain from all upside-down poses for at least 6 weeks postpartum due to  uterine blood flow (called lochia). Also, be heedful of sit-ups as the groin area is delicate from its recent stretch. A beneficial way to get going with yoga for pregnant women is with brief walks and the side-lying corpse pose.   Most women experience postnatal hemorrhaging for a few weeks after pregnancy. Keep an eye on your flow rate and decelerate your Yoga practice a little if the bleeding gets denser or changes to bright red. If in any doubt whatsoever, consult your doctor.
