Phase One: Weeks 1 - 3 | Post Abdominal Surgery Yoga | Yoga with Joy
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- If you've very recently undergone any abdominal surgery, Phase One of this four phase yoga course is made especially for you! 💜 This is the most gentle yoga practice designed for the first few weeks after surgery, incorporating very subtle, slow movements to keep the body moving and very, very carefully build up some strength to aid recovery.
In weeks 1 - 3 (which is very much an approximation, you might need this yoga practice for longer than week 3) we gently move the joints in the legs, rotating the ankles, flexing the feet, moving the hips. We're subtly keeping the muscles active and the circulation moving, to counteract the amount of resting that is required heal and imposed on you to recover. In phase one the pelvic flour is a key part of this recovery, as we're healing from the inside out, building up strength in those inner muscles to help with stability as you rehabilitate and find more movements over time. The importance of building up strength - very gently - from the inside is paramount to your recovery.
In this yoga series there are four phases to aid your recovery after abdominal surgery, building up strength and flexibility so that daily movements become easier as you heal. Phase One (this video) is approximately for weeks 1 - 3 after surgery, followed by Phase Two which is suitable for weeks 3 - 6, Phase Three for weeks 6 - 9, and Phase Four for weeks 9 - 12. All the timings are approximate and you could carry on using the previous phases right through your recovery. You could use these videos to alternate with each other, depending on you body and the speed of your recovery.
The series of videos is for anyone who has undergone abdominal surgery, which could include hysterectomy, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, hernia operation, Caesarean section, any bowl surgery. Whatever surgery you've experienced, if it's involved an incision in your abdominal muscles these yoga techniques can really help. Just take things very slowly, do what you can and opt out of any exercise or posture that doesn't feel ok.
Please speak with your doctor before starting this post abdominal surgery course, as it's very important that whatever exercise you do is in line with your stage of recovery. Only you know your body, but if you're unsure about when to start gentle movements, speak with a medical professional.

Hey wonderful humans! 💙 Here's the first video in the a 4 part series I've created for after abdominal surgery. I'd love to hear how this was for you... it's very gentle - to be used as soon as you are able to after surgery. Was it gentle enough? Let me know what you found helpful or even less helpful. If you need the next level up, you can move onto Phase Two in the series: th-cam.com/video/wztrXmte1iM/w-d-xo.html
And if you'd like to try other post-ab surgery videos to alternate with this one, when you've built up enough strength and your wound has healed enough, then here is the link to my whole playlist of videos for you: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html 🌺
Lots of love to you and blessings on your healing ✨🌟✨
Many blessings to you!
Thank you, I really enjoyed the first part of your series. I am recovering from an emergency Gall Bladder surgery and it was a great reminder, 2 weeks and 4 days after surgery that I still am healing and it will take time to recover..
My daughter found this video for me and it was very helpful. Thank you!
Happy I found this. I've had two abdominal surgeries in the past 6 years, my last one was 2 years ago where I had a myomectomy to remove 15 fibroids. I'm able to walk a normal speed and run again, but there are moments where I feel this sharp, internal pull if I get up too quickly or don't bend over carefully. I tend to forget that my body isn't the same and the reminders are painful. I'd like to begin working out my core, so figured I'd start slow. I apologized to my body this entire video for not doing exercises like this sooner. Excited to continue the rest of the series. Thank you, Joy ❤
This comment section is so healing. To the ladies that recently got their surgeries: One slow step forward is still a step. Be patient with yourselves. The fact that you're here says so much. Keep going ✨(Oh and rubbing circles on my stomach helped move the gas along!)
The session and the comments are reassuring. The post-op recovery information from medical field is limited and too general. Didn't know what to expect beyond pain meds, daily walking and rest. This body needs and craves the focused and intentional movements Your sessions provide. NAMASTE
Hi Margaret ☺️ I'm happy you've found these videos for gentle focused and intentional movements (as you put it). I love to hear that they are helping your recovery in some way. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings ✨💛✨
Joy, I’m so glad I’ve found you. I had a total hysterectomy due to large fibroids last week and though our nhs staff are brilliant and the surgery went well I felt that post op recovery advice was totally neglected. I love you’re peaceful guidance to move mindfully and heal. Thank you!
Hello lovely one, so sweet to read your message 💕 I'm really pleased you're finding these videos helpful. I keep hearing how the post op support isn't so great... and not just in the UK either! I've been speaking with women about their experiences for a new project I'm doing (about pelvic abdominal health). Would you be into chatting with me on Zoom to help with my research? Here's the link to book a call, if you want to connect and help out: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
With love and healing blessings 💓
This video is so good Joy….i myself am a yoga instructor and still didn’t know where to begin.
I went through 2 abdominal surgeries past two years and this video brought me so much healing. Tears just rolled at the end…..Also this gave me strength and inspiration that there are so many fellow women going through similar situations. Much love and healing to us all ❤
Wow, thank you so much for this. I had a laparoscopic surgery for an ovarian cyst recently and had no clue where to restart my yoga without going too hard. This is perfect. At a point in my life when I was gearing up to go really hard my body said “nope, it’s time to really slow down”.
This series is going to be the beginning of reuniting with my body again. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Hi Katie ~ lovely to hear from you! It sounds like you've been through a lot - abdominal surgery can be pretty full on. I'm pleased that these videos can help you back to full strength and your yoga practice. Have you found the full playlist of videos? Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 🌺🌿💗🙏✨💛
I just had a Fibroid removed laproscopic as well... So far the only thing I'm doing is going on short slow walks bc Lord knows sitting up for the first 2 weeks was hell.
Joy, thank you sister. I’ve had a panninectomy & abdominoplasty with total muscle repair. It’s been 3 weeks + 1 day post op & today was the first day I could practice along side your video. Thank you! I found your video pre-op & have been so emotional when I wasn’t ready. I’m here now, and this is correct.
Thank you, thank you so much. Every word you spoke resonated with me. Each breath you guided us in led me through tears, deep healing breaths, and ultimately back to self. I remembered today that I am a healer of self. I love you, thank you sister. Your work has led me to feeling closer to finding myself whole again. Love love love so much love & gratitude!
For anyone reading, post-op can be so scary, so isolating, so overwhelming. Please, breathe. Breathe. Deeply breathe. Smile. Breathe again & trust that everything you need is already inside.
Listen to that glorious body of yours, you will guide yourself.
Thank you 🧡☮️☯️
Aw thank you so much for this very tender and heartfelt message. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this part of your healing journey with me and others. You were so right to wait until you were ready to start the videos. Did you find the other yoga series with the 12 videos? One video per week... That might be good to try too because the first week is gentler and it goes up in smaller increments. Sending you so much love and healing to you. I'd love to hear how you feel using the yoga practices. Joy 🌿🙏🌟✨
So thankful for this series after my hysterectomy. I am 5 weeks post op but just now feeling up for more than walking around my neighborhood. My back is feeling it after so much time spent in bed and I cannot wait to recover my strength!
Hi Beth 😊 Good to hear you're ready for something more now ~ lying in bed can make you so achy! I really hope this series supports your recovery well and you heal easily. Have you found the whole playlist return other videos and another series too? Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💓🌺🌼🌷🌸✨
So glad I found this series. A month ago, I had emergency (i.e. I was going to die) Right Hemicolectomy when my bowels suddenly twisted. :( It all happened so fast, and the hospital/surgeon gave me zero info about even how to safely get in/out of bed, how to sit up/lie down, how to cough while holding a pillow, etc. Nothing. I've had to google everything and listen to my body. I was very active (inc daily yoga) before, and now I NEED to get my body and muscles set up for success moving forward with healing. The only pelvic floor physical therapist near me doesn't have availability for 3 months. So thank you thank you for offering this!! You are filling a void for many of us.
So so GLAD for having found this, I've been through a laparoscopy for endometriosis excision for 1 week now and feeling so much love, peace and healing after this video, blessed be! Namaste ❤🙏🏽
Hey Ceci ~ this is so lovely to hear, thank you. I really hope this video and the others help with your recovery. There is another post-ab surgery series in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending lots of love and healing blessings 💜🌿🌷💛
I’ve been practicing with these videos for almost 2 weeks after a procedure to remove endometriosis. Thank you so so much! I love your energy and pace. It’s so sweet and gentle. ❤
Hi Caitt 😊 Thank you for your lovely message! I'm so happy that you've found these videos and they are helping in some way. Have you found the whole playlist yet with all the post abdominal surgery videos? There are quite a few individual ones on there as well as another 12 week series. Also, I'm researching for a project I'm doing into women's pelvic abdominal health - would you be up for chatting with me on Zoom about your experience? I've spoken with quite a few women and it's been so helpful! Here's the booking link if you'd like to: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
With love and healing blessings 💛🍁🍂✨
This was an absolute beacon of light for me post full hysterectomy and bladder realignment surgery. Thank you so much I’ve found a real gem to help with my healing xxx ❤
Aw that's SUCH a lovely comment 🥰 Thank you 🙏 Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💓🌿✨
So grateful to have stumbled upon this after a very shocking laparoscopic saplingectomy to remove an ectopic pregnancy. This is so healing + helpful. Thank you for thinking of those of us needing this!
Hi Joy! Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve been doing these every day since my return from the hospital after a big abdominal surgery. Your warm guidance is so healing.❤❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you! So grateful for this video, and the love and kindness you've poured into it
Hi Kelly - thank you for your lovely comment! Have you found the full playlist with all the post ab surgery videos in it? There is also a 12 week (12 video) series that you could alternate with - and a few other independent videos too. Sending you love and healing blessings xx
Thank you so much joy!
A pleasure xx
Thank yoy for posting this healing series
A pleasure 💛 so pleased you are using them. May you heal easily ~ blessings to you 🙏🌟🌿
Hello, I had a few post-op complications from hysterectomy so, although I’m now 6 weeks post- surgery, I only just feel ready to return to yoga ( I was practising yoga daily pre-surgery, led an active, outdoors lifestyle on our farm so went into surgery quite fit and strong).
I’m sharing this with you to reinforce what you, wisely, advise frequently in this video…everybody is different, everybody’s recovery is different and just because this video is titled for weeks 1-3 of recovery, week 1 can come at different times for everybody, not necessarily the week after surgery! Just when each individual is ready for week 1.
Thank you for the video, I look forward to regaining my strength and confidence with you. Namaste 🙏
Hey Susie ☺️ so lovely to finally read your message! I missed a few over the summer and I've just found yours! Sorry for the delay. It was really sweet to receive and I appreciate that you've taken your own time to start exercising after your surgery. How are you feeling now? Do you feel a lot stronger? Also, I'm conducting some research into women's abdominal pelvic health and wondering if you'd like to chat with me on Zoom about your experience? If you'd be up for it, then here's the link to schedule a call: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
With love and healing blessings 🧡🍁🍂✨
Thank you for sharing this video! 💕
Hi Michael ~ I'm pleased you found this one too! Here's the link for the whole playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending love and healing blessings 🙏💛🌻✨
Thank you so much this is so helpful! I am doing this every day and looking fwd to when I can start next level. Thank you again!
Hi Caterina 😊 lovely to hear from you! Have you found the whole 'yoga for after abdominal surgery' playlist? It's also got another series on there (12 weeks/12 videos) and some other vids too. Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending lots of love and healing blessings 💛🌿🌺✨
Thank you for this video! I know it's two years old but I'm having a hard recovery and this is so helpful.
Thank you for your comment ~ sorry for the late response. I really hope your recovery becomes easier. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💕🌿✨
Thank you so much. I am 3 week post op total hystetectomy. I wanted to start moving gently without overdoing it. This was perfect gentle start i was looking for. Im in the USA and post op movement/exercise advice is nonexistant in our small local hospital.
Me too ( 2 weeks hysterectomy/ cystocele/rectocele repair and remove abdominal adhesions - 10 hour surgery). No one gives you any direction other than “rest, don’t lift”. But when you were active prior to surgery, doing nothing after 3 weeks just feels wrong. I’m glad to see simple movements to start recovering from all this..especially at age 66
Hey lovely ~ so sorry this is such a late reply. I missed your comment and I've just found it. Have these videos continued to help your recovery? It seems that post op advice isn't great in most countries, to be honest. Sending you lots of love 🙏🪷✨
This is wonderful. Thank you so much. It's great to be able to do some gentle movement
Hi Lorraine 😊 I'm happy you've found these videos! Have you seen the playlist yet? There is a whole other series on there (12 week one) and other videos too. They could be really helpful for you: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 🙏💗🌿🌺
Thanks ever so much, this is the second video I've used, just two weeks after surgery and like the first it's been enormously helpful. Just the right amount of guidance and really helpful warnings to take it slow, plus a sense of being cared for at a distance!
Hi Marianne, I'm so pleased you found this video helpful and supportive. It's really lovely to hear your feedback ☺️ have you found my post abdominal surgery playlist? Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending you lots of love and blessings on your recovery 💚🌿🌸🌼✨
Thank you so much, this is just what I was looking for after my surgery, your gentle guidance feels very nurturing at this vulnerable time 💜 know that you are deeply appreciated 💛
Thank you so much, Jo ~ I'm happy you found these videos. Thank you for your kind words! With love and healing blessings 🙏🌟🌿
What a wonderful intro to healing and moment. I am two weeks post op and I needed some guidance, I really loved your encouragement and soft voice throughout the session. I will keep it up and move slowly as I heal and thank you again. xx
Hi Stephanie ☺️ lovely to read you message ~ sorry for the late reply, I had some time off screens this summer.

Thank you, Joy for this gentle yoga exercise. The pace and your voice helps me to relax.
Hey Mary, sorry for such a slow reply! I'm really happy these videos helped you. How are you feeling now? Have you recovered well? Also, if your surgery was related to women's health - eg hysterectomy, ovarian cysts, endo, pelvic floor repair, etc - then would you be up for chatting with my on zoom to help with some research? I'm speaking with women about their pelvic/core health. Let me know if you can help... Here's the link you schedule a call: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
With love and healing blessings 🧡🍁🍂✨
Very glad to find this series as I recover from laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. I am starting pelvic floor physical therapy in a couple of weeks but am so happy to have found these videos to help get me moving and feeling connected to my body in the meantime.
Thank you, Rose ~ this is lovely to hear. Have you started the pelvic floor work yet? How's it going? Xx
Amazing video and i appreciate you joy.
Oh thank you 💛 have you found the playlist for after abdominal surgery? There are other videos on there you might find helpful: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Lots of love and healing 💚🌿🌼🌸
Absolutely fantastic. Had an open hernia inguinal mesh repair 4 days ago and even watching/practicing this video once today has made me feel better. Fantastic, video and definitely eases the abdominal area, nice and gentle. Healing vibes are amazing too. Many thanks for this! I love how you combine the exercises with healing powers and positive thoughts. Am excited to watch your other videos.

Thank you! Just what I needed to get moving again safely. I am 4 weeks post op and really miss my daily yoga. Old aches, stiffness, and pains are starting to appear, so my body is crying out for this! Bless you! ❤️🙏🏻
Hi there, lovely to hear from you 😊 I'm so pleased you're finding this helpful. Have you found my other videos in the playlist? You can mix and match for some variety. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
Lovely gentle yoge flow, thank you x
Thank you 🙏 I hope these videos are helping ☺️✨
Thanks so much for this post ab surgery yoga, Joy. I had my appendectomy just over a week ago and was missing my usual Kundalini classes. I found this lovely and gentle, kind of like a hug for mind and body, much appreciated :)
Hi Karen ☺️ so lovely to hear from you! I'm pleased this video has been helping your with your recovery and connecting you back with yoga and your body/self. Have you found the playlist with all the other post abdominal surgery videos? Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
Another great one for me to return to today. I can probably do some of the further along videos but I'm starting back at the beginning and building up. Thanks Joy!
Perfect for easing back into yoga ~ lovely and gentle ❤️❤️❤️
Coming to terms with necessary lifestyle changes post-surgery brought me to your video. Not quite able to practice more than the breathing yet, but so happy to know that yoga will be possible! You have such a gentle, healing quality about you that comes through the entire video! Yoga practice has an amazing way of improving one's sense of resilience and self-efficacy that are so necessary to the healing process. Thank you very much for sharing your time, skill and expertise with those of us in need of encouragement and healing! With bows~
Hey Kathryn ☺️ what a lovely comment! Such sweet words. I'm really happy that you've found these videos (there are loads in the full playlist) and that you're finding them helpful - even if you're just at the breathing stage (so important to go as slowly as you need to). Sending love and healing blessings 🧡🍁🍂✨
Dear Joy, it's so lovely to stumble over your channel. I know you from voice camp and had no idea that you offer these wonderful healing sessions. Thanks for this, it just felt right. I had surgery a week ag, won't be lifting any accordions for a while....Many thanks again, love xx
Oh hello lovely! I'm sorry for the late reply. I've been reducing my screen time a bit. So great you've found my videos and that they are helping a bit. Have you found the series that has a different video every week? That's a nice one too. Lots of love xxx
Good Morning Joy ❤ Thank you SO much for posting this video 🥰 Today is day 1 of my new life following a 10 year journey that has now truly resolved. I am naturally very impatient so you’re phasing is amazing for me and keeps me focused on what’s important today to build a strong solid future with the right foundations. I feel wonderful and so so lucky. Thank you and namaste 🙏
Hello Jennifer ☺️ so lovely to read your comment and know that this yoga series is being appreciated and helping with your recovery. Have you found the other series? It's a 12 video one, progressing week by week. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💕🌺🌸✨
This is a beautiful, gentle practice. I had a laparoscopic surgery 8 days ago. It's so gentle, I wish I had started on day 4 - it would have helped my circulation after anesthesia. And you really can decide to just lie there if any movement feels like it is too soon for you.
Wonderful video, a heartfelt thanks ❤
Thank you so much 🙏 Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 🌺💜🌿
Thank you Joy
Hi Abiola ☺️ thank you for your comment. How's your recovery going now? I'm actually researching into women's pelvic abdominal health for an online course I'm creating. If your surgery was related to that, would you be interested in meeting me for a zoom call to answer some questions for my research? If you would, here's the link to book a call: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
Sending love and healing blessings 💚🌸🌺🌿
Such a lovely voice! This was a wonderful experience connecting mind to body. Thank you.
Thank you 😊 I'm happy that this video helped in some way. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💗🌿🪷
Thanks very much for this video❤ soothing and gentle just what I needed for my body and for my heart ❤️ namaste
Hi Wanda ~ I'm so pleased to hear this! Sending you lots of love and healing 🌺🌼🌿
This is great Joy. Thank you. I will recommend your channel to the consultant. There really wasn't much guidance from the Nhs website. I walked as much as I could to begin. Getting into and out of bed was the worst thing during the first 2-3 weeks. Only did it when I had to.
Hey Cea, thank you for your feedback! That's really lovely to hear that you appreciate this series I'm bringing out. I think the first 3 weeks are the hardest! When I had abdominal surgery, years ago, I wasn't given any advice at all! Not even a leaflet. Getting out of bed was the worst (and coughing). I didn't even know I wasn't meant to drive myself home until after the surgery... I had to call someone to pick me up and sort out my car later. Very odd! So I felt inspired to help others with their recovery through gentle yoga practices. I wonder if your consultant will find my videos helpful - I hope so! It could be really useful and supportive for people to have a playlist to turn to. Thank you for supporting my channel and your lovely comments 💛🙏💛
This is just what I need after an anterior resection for bowel cancer! Brilliant thanks!
Thank you for your lovely comment - I'm really pleased that this video is helping you. Sending you love and healing blessings ✨💛✨
Thank you so much for doing this series. I am so happy I found your videos at the right time. It's helping me so much. 🙏
Hey lovely, thank you for this message ~ really good to hear that these videos are helping you. Sorry for the late reply! How have you been, have you recovered ok? Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💖🌼🌻🌸🪷
@YogawithJoy yes I recovered and am doing well. Thanks
❤Thank you Ms Joy, I am so glad I found you. I feel someone actually understands what I am going through. I found you on the 2nd week of Post Op & when I did the very first exercise I’ve always drifted into a very very deep sleep. Placing the hands on my tummy and just breathing was so healing. I can’t explain what a gift you have given us all who go thru this. You are doing Gods work. May the Lord Bless you forever🎉🎉🎉 I woke up in the middle of surgery, felt the stabbing & cutting pain for 6secs 😢 I am so thankful to you for your video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ you have helped me with my healing.
Aw what a lovely, heartfelt message 💛 thank you so much. It's really special to hear that these videos are helping with your healing. It sounds like you've had a really traumatic time, I'm so sorry to hear this. I really hope your recovery is easy and you can rest as much as you need. God bless you. Sending love and healing blessings 💛🌞✨
Thank you so much. This is the second time I am working my way through the abdominal surgery videos. First time was to remove a tumour from my bowel in January and this time it’s after my stoma reversal. I think it’s made me much more able to cope with both operations and it’s the perfect pace. I’m so glad I found this series. It’s really helped with my mental health too. I really can’t thank you enough xx
Hi Kathryn - I'm so pleased to hear this! Wonderful that you're using these videos again. Have you found the 12 part series too and the other videos? So you can alternate them. Sending you love and healing xx
Yes I have! I’m finding I’m alternating each day between the 12 week series and the four part series. I am definitely more mobile this time. All of the pelvic floor work and twists are really helping with my bowel function. Thank you again. Honestly, it’s brilliant xx
@@kathrynanastasi7544 aw I'm so happy these videos are helping you 💛
Thank you so much for sharing such a kind and gentle routine Joy 💛 I am 5 months into recovery from an emergency open abdominal surgery that was quite traumatic, and I felt I would never be the same. I didn't know how I could return to a yoga practice, and having found these videos, I've felt such a wave of happiness at the possibilities before me. You are such a bright light, thank you for the love you spread before you! Namaste 🧘♀️
Aw what a beautiful message 💗 I'm sorry for the late reply! How have you been feeling over the past few months? Emergency surgery can be so shocking. Have you found your yoga practice again? Sending you lots of love and healing 💓
Thank you so much for this! I had an appendectomy two weeks ago, and I am struggling with the balance between resting and wanting to get back to normal all at once. All exercise I enjoy (pilates, yoga, barre...) is heavily reliant on my core, so I am so glad to have found this gentle way back into it that doesn't risk damaging the sutures or whatever wound healing is going on inside right now.
Hi Gjendine, I'm so pleased you're finding this phase one post abdominal surgery video helpful 😊 yes it's super important to be really gentle after surgery, you're doing the right thing! Have you found my playlist with the other videos in there (there are 8 others) - so when you're ready you can move onto those if you like. Lots of love to you and blessings on your healing 🌺💛🌿
I have surgery this coming Tuesday and I am glad I found something like this that engages not only healing for the muscles that were disturbed, but also the relaxation of my mind as well.
Hey Ranae - lovely to hear from you! Sorry for slow reply - have you had your surgery yet? I hope it went smoothly. How are you feeling? Have you found the playlist for after abdominal surgery? I've got a 12 week series on there that has 'week 1' after surgery - it might be better for the first week. Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Love and healing blessings 🌺🍁🍂🌾🌸
Thank you for this. This was wonderful! Just had my gallbladder removed and have been missing my daily workout/yoga routine and this was a safe way to get my body moving again one week post op. Thank you again
Hi Shekira, lovely to hear from you and sorry for the slow reply. I'm very happy that you have benefited from this video. Have you found the playlist with all the post abdominal surgery videos? You can mix and match the videos in there. Sending love and healing blessings 🌸🌿🌺💛✨
Oh, thank you! I am scheduled for hernia repair in two days, and the thing I want most is yoga. This will be my salvation!
Hello Debra ~ sorry for the late reply. How has your hernia repair gone? I hope you're feeling ok and recovering swiftly. Sending love and healing blessings 💚🌸🌺🌿
Thank you for this progression. being normally very active and busy and then suddenly stopping after a hysterectomy is really starting to play on mind. You give permission to remain gently active, but also guidance for the mind to stop and renew as well. Thank you for the positive at a time when negative can really creep i❤
Hey Veronica 🌸 so lovely to hear from you. I'm really happy that these videos are bringing some light - I know how tough life can feel after surgery. Sending you love and healing 💕
Thank you so much, Joy!
Aw that's such a lovely comment 💛 I'm very happy you've found my post abdominal surgery videos (have you found the whole playlist?) and that they can help you recover. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
@@YogawithJoy I have found them now! :-D I'm going to try Phase 2 next week :-) Thank you again, these are fantastic!!
3 weeks post op hysterectomy & bowel resection due to “possible cancer”…. All turned out to be benign thankfully!! Loving these videos Joy, as someone that had a daily yoga practice pre-op and was dreading the loss of my fitness. In Australia, where there was also little/no advice given on recovery and return to exercise.
I'm so pleased to have stumbled on your channel. You have a very calming and reassuring way of speaking.
I've had a subcutaneous onlay repair of diastasis and 3 hernias up my midline, after a treatment injury from another procedure last year. Its been really gutting - i was an athletic guy before and very into gymnastics rings. That is my ultimate goal getting back to those.
I didn't realise it would be safe to do leg raises like this so soon after surgery. I'm nearly 4 weeks out and still in quite a bit of pain where my stitches are. Any coughs or sneezes have been excruciating. I'll try and give some of these movements a go.
Thank you for your generosity
Hey Micah ☺️ I'm so sorry that you've been through such a tough time and especially as someone so into athletics and gymnastics. Surgery really can be a double edged sword. I'm pleased you've found these videos, though please only do what you can as everyone's body, surgery, healing is so different. If you're in too much pain you might need to leave some movements out. Even just the breathing would be good - only being in other movements when you can. I do have another 12 week series which offers one video per week, so it might be better to use week 1 of that series and move up from there. It means you'll be going at a more targeted pace (moving up in stages week by week). Let me know how you go! Love and healing blessings 💗🌿✨
Thank you so much for these abdominal surgery videos, Joy. I'm so grateful to have your guidance and how well you mirror kindness to oneself. I really appreciated how you demonstrated the clock. I also liked what you did with cat. In the end, we are where we are. Best to be there and in the now. Namaste.
Hello Elaine ~ thank you for your lovely message. I'm happy that you're finding these videos helpful, and yes, it all takes time - each body and operation is different, so you're so right to be patient and take each moment as it comes. Have you found the whole post ab surgery playlist yet? Also, I'm wondering if you can help me, I'm carrying out some research to put together a programme to help women who have trauma/damage around the pelvic/abdominal area (hysterectomy, diastasis recti, prolapse etc). Do you fit that picture? If you do, would you be up for answering some questions on a Zoom call with me? I'd be so grateful! If you're up for it, then here's the link to my schedule: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
With love and blessings, Joy 🙏💛🌺✨
@@YogawithJoy I will hop on and see when we can chat!
You are great with the guiding words and your tone of voice is comforting and calming. I have been doing yoga for 20 years and it was good to see that I am naturally doing these movements, started in the second week now in the third week after a full hysterectomy where they removed a 10lb mass and repaired my bladder. I was in a daze the first week, so I could not have done much. I am in the 3rd week now. This class is very suitable even though I sm recovering very slowly. Thanks.
Hi Aydan ☺️ lovely to hear from you... Thank you for such sweet feedback. It sounds like you have been through a lot! That's full on stuff - no wonder you were in a daze for the first week. I do have a whole playlist of videos, including a 12 part/12 week series and a few stand alone vids. Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending you lots of love and blessings on your healing journey 💚🌸🌿✨
Thank you 🥰 I'd love to learn more stretches I can do that doesn't engage the abdominal muscles. One favourite I found by chance is doing a standing puppy posture leaning over the bed. Makes my back and legs joyous after all the inactivity.
Hi Nicoline - have you found the post abdominal surgery playlist? th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
There is a 12 part series on there and some are more stretchy and less about building core strength. Though maybe you could try my gentle yoga playlist and ONLY try the STRETCH videos (some postures you might have to skip). Gentle yoga: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94UGXNkxz0-vp4cBcGrOUj-R.html
I could make a video for you that is specifically for 'safe stretches for after abdominal surgery'. I'll aim to do that this week.
Love, Joy 🌺
Thank you so much for this. I have recently undergone surgery and I was feeling very unsure of how to start my yoga practice again. This is so gentle and helpful. Perfect x
Hi Kate 😊 lovely to hear from you. I'm really happy that these videos are helping you. Have you found the playlist with all the post ab surgery videos? Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Also, I'm researching at the moment to help me create more content to help women who have been through pelvic/abdominal trauma. If you've experienced hysterectomy, diastasis recti separated ab muscles), prolapse, or anything similar, would you be up for chatting with me for research? Here's the link to book a call if you want to: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min

❤thank you so much Joy God bless you! I just had a hysterectomy and I really appreciate it
Thank you for this lovely message 🙏 How has your recovery been? I've been very slow at replying to comments lately, so I hope you've been ok. Sending lots of love and healing your way 💖🌼🌻🪷🌸
A perfect start to getting back into yoga again, 6 weeks after laparoscopic surgery to remove ovarian cysts. Thank you so much Joy, I look forward to seeing you on the mat again soon xx ❤
Hey thank you for your comment and so sorry that it's taken this long to reply to you. I'm hoping these videos helped you! Much love 🌺💛🌸🌿
Thank you Joy for this yoga practice. I had a bowel resection on December 28th with a foot if small intestine, Appendix, and some of my large intestine as well. I have severe Crohn's disease. I wanted to he proactive in my recovery and build strength. Because of the way Crohn's causes the scar tissue to grow differently and attach to anything I have felt this yoga practice kept my body more in tune with me.
I appreciate your smiles and warmth in your words. You reflect the kind of self compassion needed for recovery, how to tune in to the body, and being mindful.
I appreciate 🙏 finding you and having your help in my healing journey.
Aw, Jaime, what a beautiful comment 💖 that warms my heart. You're amazing going though all of this. I'm so pleased you've found these videos to help with your recovery. Have you found the whole playlist? There are lots of other ones on there and a whole other post abdominal surgery series. Sending you loads of love and healing blessings 💛🌿✨
Thank you that was very helpful and gentle
Hi Anita 😊 I'm happy you're using these videos - how's your recovery going now? Would you be able to help me with my research for a project I'm doing? I'm speaking with women about their pelvic abdominal health - women who have had surgery or trauma in that area. If your surgery was related to that area (hysterectomy, diastasis recti repair, pelvic repair, etc), then it would be amazing if you'd like to chat on zoom for my research. You can schedule a call here: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
With love and healing blessings 🧡🍁🍂✨
I'm so glad I found you, I'm having surgery to repair an incisional hernia next week, 18 months ago I had major surgery to repair common Iliac aneurysm, I must have done too much too soon which resulted in my current hernia. This time I'm going to be ultra careful. I've been worried about not being able to practice my yoga, I find it helps me so much. Thank you for your videos. With love. Peter
Hey Peter, how have you been? Sorry for the very slow reply. Have these videos been helping you? Did you find my other 12 week series? Sending you lots of love and healing blessings ❇️🌼🌻🌸
Yes ❤this practice was helpful after my surgery
I'm so happy to hear this! Love and healing blessings to you 💖
Wonderful yoga for recovery! Thank you very much for this video, really great way to move after surgery in a gentle way with your guidance and support ❤
Hi Lena ~ thank you for your lovely comment 💛 I'm happy this video had helped with your recovery in some way. Have you found the other videos on my channel for after abdominal surgery? Sending you much love and light 🌺🌿💜
@@YogawithJoy thank you ☺️ Yes, I’ve found a playlist and enjoying doing practices from it💕
Thank you for sharing this gentle yoga practice. I’m thankful to have found it as I am recovering from another surgery due to ovarian cysts. I felt overcome with emotion and suddenly tears came to my eyes as I laid in the final resting pose as I placed my hand on my abdomen. I could feel the healing energy. You are lovely. Thank you again. ❤️
Hey Amber - so lovely to hear from you! Thank you for your sweet message and for sharing so openly about your experience. It's really heart-warming to hear about your connection with your body after surgery... so important that we take this time to reconnect with our bodies - ourselves! - and allow time and space to recover and heal. Surgery of this kind can feel pretty invasive (as you know), especially if you've experienced health issues also. Have you found the 12-week yoga after surgery series that is being released on my channel? We're up to Week 7 at the moment - so the early weeks are there ready for you if you'd like to try them out. Let me know how they are for you. Lots of love and healing blessings to you 💛🌺🌿🌾
I found you during my colonoscopy recovery and am so grateful!
Hi Kristy, lovely to meet you! I'm really happy that these videos are helpful for you. Have you found the full playlist. Love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨

2 days post op. Can’t wait to get started in the next day or two. Thank you so much ♥️

Thank you so much
A pleasure! I really hope these videos support your recovery. Sending love and healing 🌸💛🌼🌷
This is just what I needed, Joy! Thank you! 🙏 I am 5 months post op and I have not gotten my flexibility back; like you said every body and every surgery is different. I look forward to going through each video in your series as I gain strength. The exercises you guided in this video were helpful because I didn’t know what to do on my own. You are so kind and nurturing- much needed for those of us who have been through a lot recently. Thank you!!!
Hi Meghan, it so lovely to hear from you, thank you for your comment 😊 yes, it's so important to go at your own pace... It can be quite a while after surgery, injury or birthing that we need the most gentle and subtle strengthening and stretching. I really hope these videos support you to build up strength and flexibility. Have you found the whole playlist for other post op videos too?

Thank you so much for this video. It is so great and gentle, and also brings me into the prayer mood. Because I am praying for my health daily and thanking God for the gift of life

@@YogawithJoy thank you. I have found everything
Thank you for this. I am three weeks post-op yesterday and I feel like my body is doing amazing. I used to practice yoga some, but like everything else my work and life got in the way. Since my surgery I have a new appreciation for my body and the phenomenal job it is doing healing. I am determined to take better care of it. I have been eating better, going for walks, and honoring me. Then I found this... It felt so good to be on my mat. Thank you Joy!!
Hey Michelle ❤ so lovely to receive your message! It's wonderful that you're giving your body love, patience and time to heal... we have such amazing bodies - their ability to heal and stay health is truly amazing.

I didn’t think I could handle another 5 weeks of recovery with zero exercise. THANK YOU !! I will definitely be watching the next playlists you have mentioned.

Day 17 after an abdominal hysterectomy and this was perfect in every way. Thank you 🙏
Hey that's wonderful to hear 😊 sending lots of love and healing blessings ❤️
Thank you so much for this, Joy. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy at the end of October and started doing this Phase 1 video ten days after the op when I felt ready for it. It's helped me relax and is a good complement to my daily walking routine. Part of my wound has been a little slow to heal but is getting there and when it does I'll move on to Stage 2. As other commenters have said, post-op recovery advice from the hospital was a bit sparse so your videos are a wonderful resource.
Hi Becky ~ thank you for your lovely comment, I'm happy to hear you have found this video helpful. It's also really good you're taking things slowly and waiting for your wound to heal before moving to stronger exercises. Taking things slowly is definitely the way to recover well. I'm doing some research into women's pelvic abdominal health for a project I'm working on. I've been interviewing women about their operations and pelvic/core trauma/damage... would you be up for helping me out by having a Zoom call with me?

Week 4 post op coming in two days! I had a total hysterectomy my cut was from pelvic bone up past my belly button and so my stomach is super glued together.
So far, the first 3 weeks i walked in my neighborhood. Yesterday and today i walked at park.
Im going to try to incorporate this as well. I am excited to get back to yoga and pilates but i am taking it easy starting.
