Want to reconnect with you postnatal mamas so I typed up a short sequence to start re-calibrating your body! Be sure you have the okay from your doc/midwife.

The poses are similar to prenatal, but think about keeping your legs/feet closer together to invite things back in; for example feet touching in Downward Facing Dog, hug belly in, and lift the pelvic floor in and up.

Child's Pose
Puppy Pose
Downward Facing Dog
Sit on heels and reach interlaced hands to the sky
One hand down next to hip and reach the other hand over head for an easy side bend
Cat/cows
Hip circles while on hands and knees
Warrior 1 - hips  are square to the front (instead of open like Warrior 2)
Lie on back, bend knees, feet flat on the floor and do small pelvic tilts (like cat/cow on your back, but smaller, gentler movements)
Lie on your back, one leg extended long on the floor (knee and toes straight up) while you interlace your hands behind your other thigh and reach that leg to the sky (or lasso the foot with a belt)
Savasana
Stay for 5 breaths in each pose

This should feel great on your back and get things moving back together. Let me know what you think.
