Losing weight after giving birth is a little difficult as your body is still in the healing process and adapting to the new changes. Since you cannot do vigorous training, we have a list of easy yoga poses which will help you to lose weight easily post-pregnancy.

#1. Cobra pose

Cobra pose is very effective in weight loss as well as helping the new moms in dealing with the back pain they experience post delivery. This basic yoga pose will tone your buttocks, abdomen and arms. You can do this pose 5-10 times a day.

How to do it:

• Lay flat on your stomach and bring your palms on either side of your chest.
• Breathe in and lift yourself up using your arms.
• Hold the pose for a minute and do some deep breathing.
• Bring yourself back slowly.

#2. Bow pose

Other than the increased weight, new moms often have digestive issues after delivery. Since the core loses its strength after delivery, it needs to be restored to the overall health. With bow pose, you will be able to condition your core in no time and get back that tight stomach. Do this a couple of times a week.

How to do it:

• Lay on your stomach. Bend the knees and hold them with your hands.
• Inhale while lifting your head and maintain the pose for a few seconds.
• Return to the original position while exhaling.
