This is the case with most of the ladies that the tummy doesn’t get back to normal after a caesarean. You should not sleep with the pillow under your head. Give your body little rest before you start any exercises. Yoga can definitely do you good. Various exercises of yoga are recommended for the reduction of the belly but you have to choose the ones which do not load your body with the practice of yoga. Later on you can take up the ones which involve greater twists and turns. Warm up exercises of yoga should be taken up initially so as to relax the body completely before complicated postures

Pawanmuktasana (Free wind posture), Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), Bhujangasana (Cobra pose), Dhanurasana (Upward bow pose), matsyasana (fish pose)

Cobra pose can be performed as under:
• Lie flat on your belly
• Lift your head high
• Lift your trunk too
• Support your upper part of your body with your hands
• Inhale deeply
• Exhale slowly
• Relax

Free wind posture can be done by following the simple steps:
• Lie flat on the ground
• Bend your right leg from the knee and try to bring it near your head
• Hold your leg with your hands
• Lift your head as well as shoulders a little
• Stay in this posture for sometime
• Continuously, inhale and exhale to have better effect on the mind as well as the body.

Fish pose can be done by incorporating the lotus pose and then just touching the ground with the help of your head. Stay in this posture and inhale and exhale deeply. This will rejuvenate your body with a better supply of oxygenated blood to various organs of the body.

Half lord of fish pose (Ardh Matsyendrasana) also helps greatly to reduce the extra pounds deposited near your belly region. Practice of this posture is little tough but once you master the posture, it won’t be very tough. You can follow it with simple and easy steps for the same.

• Sit on the floor with your legs in front
• Bend your knee
• Lift your one of your knee up
• Lift your leg and keep it on the other side of your folded leg
• Support your body with one of your hands
• With your other palm adapt a blessing posture
