Postpartum Weight Loss- Get Long, Lean Muscles with Yoga

Have you ever noticed that swimmers have great backs, runners have great legs, and yogi’s have long lean muscles?  We are literally shaped by the exercises that we do.  If you’re looking to lose the baby weight, yoga is a great way to do it!  Certain types of yoga such as ashtanga (power yoga) and vinyasa (flow yoga) get the heart rate up to burn calories and body fat, and the yoga postures and breath lengthen and tone the muscles.  Another added benefit with yoga is you’ll experience a reduction in stress and a great night’s sleep…a plus for new moms! 🙂
