Mama Yoga for New Mothers & Recovery After Childbirth

After giving birth, your body needs time to recover. And so do you. With Mama Yoga at Yoga Home in Maastricht, you work on your recovery—both physically and mentally—in a calm, safe, and effective way.

Mama Yoga in Maastricht offers a safe and relaxed way to regain your energy, unwind, and discover a new rhythm (possibly together with your baby).

Whether you have just given birth or are already a few months postpartum, this yoga class helps you find balance in body and mind again.

This form of yoga has been specially developed for women after pregnancy and helps you regain your balance.

The beauty of this class? Your baby is also very welcome! You choose whether to come alone or with your baby. You can then feed, change, cuddle, or comfort your baby whenever necessary. There is no pressure to do anything, allowing you to focus fully on what feels right for you and your baby at that moment.

What is Mama yoga?

Mama yoga is an adapted, gentle form of yoga. Specifically tailored to your needs in the phase after pregnancy and childbirth. Your body has undergone many changes during pregnancy and childbirth. Mama yoga helps you reconnect with your body and recover. During the classes, you will work on:

Safe recovery

  • Activating and strengthening abdominal, back, and pelvic floor muscles

  • Reducing complaints such as neck and back pain caused by carrying your baby

  • Restoring your energy level


Relaxation and mental peace. In addition to physical exercises, we focus on:

  • Breathing techniques

  • Meditation

  • Deep relaxation (restorative yoga)


Physical and Mental benefits

  • Better sleep – helps create a calmer rhythm for you and your baby

  • Less stress – offers moments of relaxation and recovery

  • Mom self-care – a relaxed mom often means a relaxed baby too

  • More self-confidence – discover the power of your recovering body

  • Improved mobility and flexibility – gentle on the body, effective for recovery

  • Recovery of pelvic floor and abdominal muscles – helps strengthen these areas in a safe and gentle way

  • Improved blood circulation – supports the lymphatic system and can help reduce fluid retention


During the class recovery, relaxation, and connection take center stage.

During the class, you can enjoy:

  • Gentle yoga poses that gently strengthen the body, with special attention to the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, and back

  • Breathing exercises to reduce stress and restore your energy

  • Stretching and mobility exercises for greater flexibility and freedom of movement

  • Moments of relaxation where you can unwind completely

  • Tips and guidance to continue practicing safely at home


Everything takes place in a small, supportive group where your baby is always welcome. The classes are tailored to your needs and your baby's rhythm.

Mama yoga means truly taking time for yourself, something you (as a new mother) may really need.

Yoga after pregnancy

After pregnancy, you might want to start exercising again quickly, but your body needs time to recover.

With Mama yoga at Yoga Home:

  • You build up your strength step by step

  • You prevent overexertion

  • You reconnect with your body


You can gently start Mama yoga 6 to 8 weeks after giving birth (in consultation with your midwife or gynecologist), but this also depends on how you feel and whether there are any remaining physical complaints.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask them by sending a message.

Is Mama Yoga Right for You?

Mama yoga is suitable for you if you:
 

  • Have just given birth (from 6–8 weeks) or have been postpartum for a while

  • Want to recover gently

  • Suffer from back, neck, or pelvic pain

  • Want to start moving again in a safe way

  • Need time for yourself


Always consult your midwife or gynecologist beforehand to see if your body is ready to get moving again gently.

You do not need any yoga experience to participate in Mama yoga. The exercises are gentle, safe, and specifically tailored to recovery after childbirth.

Would you like to come to Mama yoga but can't because you have to take care of your baby? No worries! You can simply bring your baby along!
