Before you begin your exercise routine, it is important that you have received medical clearance by your doctor to exercise, practice patience with yourself and your body, and rest, lots of rest! I recommend waiting at least 8 weeks before beginning any strenuous exercises. After your recovery, yoga can be a relaxing and beneficial way to begin introducing exercise back into your daily regimen.
Yoga can aid in healing your abdominal muscles, building pelvic floor and core strength, improve body and organ alignment, and your mental health. As you begin adding specific yoga poses back into your daily routine, you may begin experiencing relief from diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues, tight shoulders, chest, and hips, and help you feel more energized and relaxed while caring for your new child.
In this article we hope to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding postpartum exercise.
How Soon After Giving Birth Can I Do Yoga?
We recommend taking your time to heal and bond with your baby before you start exercising. So often women struggle with feeling a need to get back into their normal regimen and daily activities without allowing proper time for rest and recovery. This can be especially true of postpartum people who experienced no pregnancy complications or delivered naturally. As stated above, allowing 8 weeks or so to begin yoga practice is important for your health and overall well-being.
Postpartum Yoga After Normal Delivery
If you had a normal delivery, you may begin feeling like yourself much sooner than other women who experienced either a c-section or complications during their delivery. However, it is still important to rest and to begin gradually introducing yoga poses into your daily routine. Make sure that you feel comfortable during your exercises and if you experience any pain or discomfort, to wait a few more days to a week before returning to your yoga practice.
When Can You Do Yoga After C-Section?
If you delivered via c-section, it may take longer for you to begin feeling yourself again. That’s okay! You experienced a lot of trauma and pain during your delivery and it is important for you to rest. We especially recommend a 5-5-5 step program during the first few weeks of your recovery – 5 days of rest, 5 days within reach of your bed, and 5 days within a short distance from your bed. Talk with your doctor before beginning any exercises or yoga poses that may affect your abdominal muscles and belly.
Can Yoga Help You Lose Weight After Pregnancy?
Although losing weight should never be the top priority in returning to yoga postpartum, yoga can help you lose some of the baby weight you’ve gained during your pregnancy. There are many other benefits to contributing yoga into your postpartum regimen:
Body knowledge: Yoga can help you become familiar with vital parts of your body as you begin the restoration process.
Body / Posture Alignment: Your body has undergone a lot of physical stress during your pregnancy and after your delivery. Many women experience shoulder, neck, bain, back, and hip pain due to delivering, carrying, and breastfeeding their child. It is also common for your organs to be displaced during your delivery. Yoga can help restore your body’s alignment and help loosen those tight muscles in your shoulders and chest!
Mental Health: Participating in a postpartum yoga program can help you get to know other people, participate in relaxing and calming practices, and reduce stress and postpartum depression.
What is Postnatal Yoga?
Postpartum yoga is a one postpartum practice you can start a few weeks after your delivery. Not only can yoga help relieve symptoms of diastasis recti and a weakened pelvic floor, but it can also be a great way to relax and gradually regain your strength during your recovery. Below we have compiled a few yoga poses we believe are beneficial in your early recovery.
Child’s pose
This gentle pose can help alleviate pain in your chest and neck while properly engaging your pelvic floor and low back.
Start this pose by resting on your hands and knees. Extend your arms slightly in front of you while relaxing your lower body and butt down toward your heels. Gradually lengthen the distance between your knees, but keep your feet together. Hold this position for 30 seconds and breathe restfully.
Tadasana – Mountain pose
A mountain pose is a standing pose which engages your abdomen, pelvic floor, and back.
Stand with your big toes together and your heels slightly apart. Ensure that your weight is distributed evenly between your feet. Relax your arms at your side with palms and biceps facing forward. Inhale, and gently lift your ribcage to be evenly distanced from your pelvis. Place your palms gently on your sides for lower back stability, and exhale slowly. Repeat 5 – 10 times as you are able.
Pelvic tilt
A pelvic tilt is beneficial in strengthening your lower and upper back as well as your hips and legs.
To begin, lie on your back with your feet aligned with your hips and your arms resting at your sides, palms face down. Gently curl your tailbone so that your spine is settled on the floor. This will relieve any pressure you may feel in your lower back. Inhale and begin slowly exhaling as you gently lift your hips upward, tilting your pelvis as you continue tucking in your tailbone. Hold for 2 – 3 breaths and slowly lower yourself back to your starting position. Repeat 5 to 10 times as you are able.
It is important that if you feel any pain or discomfort during these exercises, that you pause and wait until you are able.
This arrangement of rocks on the Otsukinami Coast beach is quite temporary. The waves here even on this fairly still morning were powerful enough to roll another boulder over my foot while I was capturing a scene. Should I go back in a few days, I will surely find the rocks have been moved.
This IG3OA is seen sitting shy of the Amtrak Sacramento Station while a trespasser on the I Street Bridge is dealt with.
In the new depot alignment, this train in the 21st century is taking close to the same path its ancestors did up to 50 years ago through Sacramento, CA.

Pickup alignment of a Lyra Helikon mounted on Alphason HR100S (and Oracle Delphi) using "Schön"-template.
I had the pleasure of viewing the planetary alignment this week shortly after the sun set into Lake Michigan. In this photo I captured the Moon, three planets, and a few deep sky attractions using a wide angle 10mm lens . The reflection of Venus in the lake is also prominent.

I decided to make my own dropout alignment tools. The Park ones have the annoying feature of moving around in the dropout while you're trying to tighten them down. The Stein ones solve this by using quick-release clamps, but then require you to adjust the spacing with a difficult-to-use collar instead of a screw thread (and they cost 3x as much). So here's the best of both worlds: quick-release clamps, long arms, and a nice tight screw thread adjustment.
each section is only as wide as the hoop. there were 5 sections i had to line up in descending order.
i had to pluck out the running stitch 3 times on that eagle, scoot the fabric left, right... no, no, back to the left... before it FINALLY centered itself between the triforce's...uh... legs.
Just received it today. It was too expensive to ship the one made by Joel (Clockwork) from the US, so I found somebody who could CNC mill it for me. It also allowed me to customize it for my height gauge.
The design is very, very much inspired by this one ! :

"The Alignment Guy", the early years: Employee with a bad attitude by day, would be shop owner by night.
Sorry for the tiny photo. I can't find a larger copy, or the memory card the original is on.
Noticed these misalignment issues when trying to assemble the line of pier and waterline (I thought it was me who was the problem!). These puzzles all have 3 vertical seams: between pieces 13/14, 25/26, and 37/38. Here you can see the middle and right-hand seam, and how the pieces are off alignment (but only in some areas, it looks like!). I have come to expect small alignment issues in puzzles, but it's pretty bad to see this in just a 2000 piece.
This hasn't completely ruined my puzzle experience, but I can already hear the complaints from fellow collectors. Making high-art puzzles is going to attract a picky audience. Probably a big reason why former art puzzle manufacturer Ricordi folded had to do with complaints from customers over quality issues. I remember reading many negative comments about Ricordi on Amazon, the German puzzle forum and from other sources, and when I finally got around to building some Ricordis last year I was surprised to find the quality decent if not top-notch. Grafika will need to do a better job than this to keep its customers - though on the other hand, art puzzle collectors are so desperate for new images that they may live with these issues. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have the best of both worlds: well-chosen art designs combined with exquisite manufacturing.
Megalithic tomb (Passage grave) Newgrange, Co Meath, Ireland - 2500BC. Dated to around 3200 BC, Newgrange is 1,000 older than Stonehenge and centuries older than the great pyramids of Egypt.
At the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, the light of rising sun penetrates the tomb through the roofbox over the entrance, gradually illuminating the passage for a distance of 62feet to the three chambers at the end.
(I believe it didn't happen to day - too dark, damp and grey!). Photo taken several years ago.
Wansey Road
I have been holding off featuring Wansey Road until I had the 'whole story' - the station and canopy have been progressing well but it hasn't been until recently that I have had a chance to take shots of the new look street. Wansey Road now carries the light rail alignment, a shared bicycle and pedestrian path, a traffic lane, kerbside parking and the traditional Sydney suburban footpath. What do you think? As a bonus I've thrown in some shots of the canopy and platform ant the new Wansey Road stop
Slightly out of system, as the Technic holes are just a tiny bit higher than side studs, but an axle will still pass freely IRL.
This lays at an angle so I clamped it with two forward baces so the joints are all unstressed when riveted
The new alignment at Heamies Farm, with Freightliner Class 66/5 No. 66506 'Crewe Regeneration' leading 4M88 0932 Felixstowe North - Crewe Basford Hall off the new alignment of the down slow from Searchlight Lane Junction on 17th August 2016. Previously a four-track formation continued around the curve to Norton Bridge, which now with closer inspection revealing that the now redundant fourth track (down slow-above red third container) has been lifted.

The Orion-theory that the alignment and placement of the pyramids of Giza is widely known, though much discredited.
Whilst reading up on the theory, i came across this, alternate theory to the alignment and layout of the pyramids of the Giza plateau.
Primarily they focused on something much closer than the Orion constellation, rather they set reflect the inner planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
This theory rests on several remarkable coincidences
1. the 3 misaligned pyramids have an angular separation equaling 191.6 degrees, or the identical angular distance Mars travels in one Earth year
2. the distances from the peaks of the pyramids are proportionally identical to the distance of the inner planets from one another
3. the three pyramid bases are directly proportional to the physical size for these four inner planets. The two largest pyramids have a size ratio very similar to Earth and Venus, while the third and smallest pyramid equals the "average" size ratio for the two smallest planets, Mars and Mercury
Thus some argue, their their main objective was to emphasize planet motion and the arrangement of the 4 inner planets.
This pyramid/planet comparison begs the question is it the result of a great engineering coincidence? Or were the pyramids constructed with the intent of reflecting the heavens -- and how did the Ancient Egyptians poccess this intimate knowledge of the Solar system, and how was it lost to mankind?

Sequence analysis of the PDIR non-catalytic domain.(A) Occurrence of the domain in protein disulfide isomerases and other proteins. Human ERp57 is shown for comparison. Catalytic motifs are shown in catalytically-active thioredoxin-like domains. (B) Rooted phylogenetic tree of proteins shown in panel (A). Sequences labeled WUBG_02370 and RNA methyltransferase are proteins from parasitic nematodes Wuchereria bancrofti (EJW86719) and Brugia malayi (XP_001896925); mosquito PDIR is from Aedes aegypti (XP_001659136). The N-terminal catalytic domain of ERp57 was used for the phylogenetic tree. The figure was generated with ClustalW [29] and TreeViewPPC [30]. (C) Sequence alignment of the non-catalytic domain from PDIR proteins from human (NP_006801), rabbit (XP_002716857), rattlesnake (AFJ50881), chicken (XP_422097), zebrafish (XP_001107048), frog (XP_001086600), fly (XP_609645), and sea urchin (XP_001200801) and the related sequence from Brugia malayi RNA methyltransferase (XP_001896925). The consensus sequence is shown below; the secondary structure elements are above the sequence.
I made these this past week as part of my new head tube alignment system. On the left, an adjustible jack. On the right, a tube centering gauge. (The gauge itself I bought from Joel of Clockwork bikes; I built the base. Eventually I'll make a new gauge that's a little more to my liking.)
this is a panorama made from 8 pictures.
It was taken on May, the 1rst, at 3:00 AM GMT.
At this moment, Venus and Jupiter were in conjunction. The milky-way core was still visible.
Location : La Seyne sur Mer, near Toulon, France.
Setup : Nikon Z6 II + Nikkor 24/70 @ 24 mm -f/4 - ISO 1600 - 20 s
The magnets do an amazing job keeping the TouchFire aligned.
This photo shows something else: silicone rubber grabs dust and hair. You can run it under water to clean that stuff off.
