Pregnancy weight is something that almost all new moms battle against. The extra inches and pounds are piled up during pregnancy and with an infant to take care of; shedding the extra weight becomes a tough task. And because new mothers breastfeed their babies they are advised against going for a diet. So, what can you do to lose the excess weight after the birth of your baby? The answer is pregnant yoga. Yoga is definitely the best option for you and it will allow you to lose weight gradually and effectively without having any adverse effect on your health. A tender yoga posture like the shavasana will improve your metabolism and help you to lose weight. The asana will also increase blood circulation and build up the energy that you lost during pregnancy.
To perform the shavasana to lose pregnancy weight, lie on your back with your feet slightly apart. Put your hands at the side with palms facing upwards and curl your fingers. Close your eyes. Then you have to inhale deeply and hold it. Flex you leg and arm muscles, clench your jaws and fists, tighten your buttocks and abdomen and curl your toes. After a few seconds, exhale and let your body relax. Release all the tension from your body. Soften every muscle of your body and hold the position as long as you can. Start coming back by wiggling your toes and fingers. Bring your knees near your chest, wrap your hands around them and squeeze. Roll on your right with your knees against your chest. Using your right elbow come to an upright position. This pregnant yoga asana will help you to get back your slimmer self.
