Postpartum is a Sacred Window where Mother nature offers a bountiful and precious unique gift to every single mother who births a child, known as Kayakalpa.

According to Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, which is also the oldest system of medicine originating from India, there are special times in a woman’s life where nature opens a narrow window, an opportunity for total rejuvenation of her physiology.

This period is known as the Sacred Postpartum Window, and it is a vital recovery time for the new mother, with great importance for receiving specific care to the body, mind, senses and emotions.

This unique window of 42-days post-birth has the power to bring the physical and energetic bodies back into balance through a process of purification and nourishment. It is a time when a new mother is in a state of vulnerability, tenderness, and in need of mothering herself.

When she surrenders to this natural state, this Sacred Window enables her to transcend any degenerative conditions and attain an optimal metabolic state for health and recovery. 

Certain cultures still honour and revere this unique period of a new mother’s life, where a community of women nurture and care for the new mother as lovingly as a newborn is cared for by its mother.
