elaboration of references from various books on Yoga, research articles and web sources. Discussion: Yogic practices with their holistic and
psycho-physiological approach help in management of various physical conditions as well as emotional and psychological issues. Overall effects

functions and re-established hormonal axis. The specic practices performed for specic health conditions help in their management. Conclusion:
Yogic practices help in speedy recovery of the body for normal functioning of daily life in the postpartum women. They help in management of
various postpartum health conditions and in coping with stress and give a positive sense of wellbeing.
