- Half Lotus sitting: Sit cross legged and lift one foot onto the opposite leg. Support your baby with pillows or a cushion and try and keep a straight back. As you change sides with your baby, change the leg resting ontop. However, wait until you feel recovered from childbirth and any stitches have healed. You can also practice your kegels (pelvic floor exercises) in half lotus. If this seems difficult begin in simple cross legged position.

- Supported boat position: Lying on a sofa with pillows or cushions under your head and upper body, keeping the back as straight as you can with feet lifted either onto the sofa arm or again with pillows.
