How To Do Yoga Tadasana After Pregnancy

To perform Tadasana you need to stand erect and stretch your feet up to one inch apart and then inhale and simultaneously raise the arms in the upward direction and then raise the heels. Lower the arms and heels downwards as you exhale. This asana exercises the spine and abdominal muscles. However, if you practice this asana then stop raising the heels once you are three months pregnant.

Stand with your feet together and arms on the side. Raise arms over the head, interlock fingers and then turn the palms upward. Place hands over the head. Inhale and stretch the arms, shoulders and chest upwards. Raise heels to come up on the toes. Stretch whole body from top to bottom. Lower heels while exhaling and bring hands on top of the head. Relax for few seconds and repeat 5-10 times.

Benefits: Helps develop physical and mental balance. Entire spine is stretched and loosened, helping to clear congestion of the spinal nerves. Also stretches rectus abdominal muscles keeping the nerves toned.
