Yoga can be a great way to heal from surgery.However,as with any exercise after surgery, make sure you take it slow and do not push yourself. The best yoga for after surgery is Hatha yoga, which is very gentle and can be done very slowly. Hatha yoga focuses on a series of asanas done slowly and with deep breathing. If done properly,it is unlikely that it will do you any harm after the surgery.

If you are concerned with how your body will react now after the surgery,you may wish to stay clear of asanas that focus on your mid-section.Try doing standing poses and upper body poses; such as tree pose and prayer pose, even eagle pose may bring you some relief. If you are looking for poses to increase blood flow to your mid-section and help in your recovery, then you will still want to continue with Hatha yoga, but focus on asanas that gently massage the mid-section only instead of putting too much stress on the region. Such asanas as seated forward bend and even downward facing dog may help you. Try to stay away from spinal twists and upward facing dog at this point.
