Alia Bhatt practices yoga upside down a month after giving birth to baby girl: 'Vow to never be hard on myself'

New mommy in town Alia Bhatt has embarked on her journey to fitness a month after giving birth to her baby girl, Raha Kapoor.

On Saturday, Alia took her followers by surprise when she posted a picture of herself practicing an inverted yoga pose. In a piece of advice for all new mothers, she also stated that they should listen to what their body says and not push themselves hard.

"One and a half months post-partum, after gradually re-building my connection with my core, and with full guidance from my teacher @anshukayoga I was able to attempt this inversion today," she wrote.

She further mentioned, "To my fellow mamas, listening to your body post delivery is key. Do NOT do anything your gut tells you not to. For the first week or two during my workouts, all I did was breathe… walk… find my stability and balance again."

The 29-year-old went on to say, "Take your time - appreciate what your body has done. After what my body did this year I have taken a vow to never be hard on myself again. Childbirth is a miracle in every way, and giving your body that love and support that it gave you is the least we can do."

Alia also cautioned her followers to consult their doctor before doing anything that involves exercise after childbirth as every body is different.
