One week postpartum looks like fitting in gentle movement right alongside a mid-morning snack break. 👶🏽🍼
Here are 3 gentle movements I’m working into my day right now to support my recovery.
360 Breathing: Expanding my diaphragm and ribs fully, then gently engaging my core and pelvic floor on the exhales. I like placing my hands on my ribs to build awareness and create a little counter-pressure to breathe into.
Windshield Wipers: This video is at 4x speed, so keep these slow! I move on every exhale to ensure my core and pelvic floor are supporting the movement.
Thoracic Twists: Absolute relief for the spine and shoulders from all the holding and feeding. Clearly, these can be done while nursing! 😆
✨ The 360 breath and windshield wipers are also perfect to do with your baby snuggled right on your chest.
Rest up, snuggle, and give yourself grace in this time, mamas. You’re doing amazing. 🫶🏽
