So sorry you didn t like the class. Re: diastasis recti, all of the poses are appropriate for DR. I did give options of keeping hands on the mat or block or lifting them.
You should always get the ok from your care provider to exercise postpartum. Most will say it s ok beginning at 8 weeks. I thought my flow was slow enough and it s repeated numerous times. It s a flow I do regularly in postnatal classes with moms who are 6-8 weeks and more postpartum.

Thanks, Becca! If your hip is still bothering you, I d like to suggest you either see a chiropractor or take Shy Sayar s correcting pelvic misalignments class and/or therapeutic yoga for hips and back. Your body goes through tremendous changes from pregnancy and then even more postpartum. Getting your body realigned can make a big difference. If you think about the changes that occurred over 9 months, 3 months PP is only 1/3rd of the time it takes to recover.
So be kind to yourself and keep listening to your body. Congratulations on your new family member!

Sarah,
I m sorry you didn t like the class. I purposely made the class slower than a normal flow class, with a lot of focus on the belly and the breath. My goal was to also focus on strengthening all those body parts that get stretched and to take your time doing it. This is a flow I ve used many times in my postnatal classes with moms 6 weeks PP - 6 months PP. It s important to acknowledge the dramatic changes your body has been through and will continue to go through. So be kind to yourself, listen to your body, and take a break if you need it. Some people recover quickly and others, like me, take a bit longer to get their strength and stamina back. And Congratulations on the birth of your baby.
