Breastfeeding does not just provide nutrition to a child; it also fosters bonding between the mother and her baby. Moreover, it also provides several health benefits to both of them. We’ve spoken about the positives, but we can’t disregard that this period of nursing your baby can be quite physically taxing. This stress on the body may also lead to an agitated mind, causing anxiety and mood swings etc. Grand Master Akshar says, “Yoga can be a boon for a new mother; both to increase the milk supply and also for mental well-being.” Yoga and breastfeeding can prove to be a valuable tool for lactating moms. Please note that you MUST start any form of exercise, only after consulting your gynaecologist to assess if birthing injuries like a C-section, episiotomy, etc are healed. 

Start with these poses (recommended by Grand Master Akshar) at a slow pace, only after a thorough warm-up routine. Pay attention to your breath and alignment for safe practice.
