Postpartum and struggling with constipation? Or just want to help support your pelvic floor, especially after a vaginal birth. These 3 Postpartum Stretches for Digestion are essential!

This 8-minute stretch sequence is safe for you postpartum and includes:
1. Extended Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana)
2. Knees to Chest Pose (Apanasana)
3. Supine Spinal Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana)

I've detailed a 4th optional deep yogi squat, but please be mindful if you are early postpartum as this is not an ideal pose for you to be doing, the pressure on your pelvic floor may be too much (even if you had a c-section), so as always please listen to your body.

3rd degree or 4th degree tears are common in childbirth, to help your body in recovery it's important you are avoiding constipation. These stretches along side keeping well hydrated, resting where possible and eating a nutritious, high fibre diet can assist you.
