It can be challenging to find time to exercise as a new mum, explains senior yoga teacher Tara Lee, who specializes in dynamic, pregnancy and post-natal yoga. Dont be hard on yourself or in too much of a rush to get back into shape. Remember, it took nine months of being pregnant, so expect it may take nine months to return back to how you were.

Five reasons to lose your baby weight

Although the thought of exercising may be unappealing after giving birth, yoga can help new mothers de-stress, beat the baby blues, and ease the body back into exercise in manageable installments and here, Tara offers her top tips for practising post-natal yoga.

Her first piece of advice? Dont push yourself or exercise too strongly in the first few months, she says. You need to conserve lots of energy for producing milk. Plus, you are likely not to be getting enough sleep.

Tara strongly recommends placing an emphasis on holistic recuperation, Its important to rest and eat well in the early months, and to focus on your recovery rather than bouncing back into shape immediately, she explains.

Its for this reason that Tara has taken on the role of Head Yogi at a brand new sanctuary, Mermaid, a residential centre opening in July 2013 that will offer a comprehensive array of services to support women who have just given birth. Tara explains that she and her team will help prepare women for their journey into motherhood with yoga and breathing techniques, and ensure they feel on top form.

Stay safe during your pregnancy workout

But for new mums that cant take substantial time out, there are plenty of easy-to-manage solutions to getting in shape. Taras DVDs are filled with easy exercises that you can do at home and fit into your day. She explains, I added a 10-minute quick fix section, which will be easy to squeeze into even the busiest of days. Theres also a Yoga for You and Your Baby DVD that allows women to exercise with their newborn.

(MoneyWatch) Yoga has become a pretty big deal in my life: Since taking up the practice several years ago I've lost 40 pounds, and at 47, am in the best physical shape of my adult life, and at least as importantly, better mental shape. I still have a long way to go on the latter, but anyone who knew the "before" model knows -- and I think appreciates -- the dramatic differences. Yoga has become such an important part of my life that I even started a little yoga-related side venture that's looking promising. And it doesn't hurt that my wife is a yoga teacher -- keeps me on the path.

No, you're not in the wrong section of the CBS site; This is a business column, I promise.

Yoga is big on teaching, learning, awareness and introspection: Whether it involves emotions and attitudes, relationships, health and well-being, or even life's big questions, there are good lessons and life/business skills to be learned, and you don't have to be the least bit earthy-crunchy (I am the furthest thing from it) to benefit from them. Here are what I consider to be the five big ones:

Equanimity: This one has done the most for me in recent years. Equanimity is a state of calm and balance that flattens out the extreme mental/emotional sine wave of business, which for many people -- especially small business owners -- is reactive and counterproductive. Everyone knows that rule number one in a crisis is to remain calm, and there's a reason for that: Calmness always leads to better decisions and a better ability to work with people. To be equanimous is, in more current parlance, to be "chill."

Focus: Both the physical and mental components of yoga are best served by trying to maintain an uninterrupted state of focus, whether it is on breathing, balance, moving or not moving, thinking or not thinking. For many entrepreneurial-types (including me), it is extraordinarily difficult to stay in a narrow band of attention for extended lengths of time. But when it comes to critical business priorities, it is important to try. A scattered brain may be a font of creativity, but it usually isn't the best problem-solving tool.

Clarity: This is, of course, the ability to see and accept things as they are before acting on them. Particularly for the business person, clarity and focus are complementary (and often equally challenging): Clarity provides awareness and understanding of a situation, whether big or small, while focus enables us to deal with it most effectively.

Empathy: Yoga is big on feeling for all other living things ("sentient beings," if you do like the crunchy stuff). And if you've read even a few of my commentaries, you know that I think this word is the key to just about everything in business. Empathy is the seed of exceptional customer service, managing employees and culture, product design and more. Business is about being paid to provide something for someone else, and empathy is about understanding what it feels like to be someone else. You can do the rest of the math.

Presence: Pretty much anyone who has done yoga is used to hearing the phrase "be present"; it is one of the most difficult concepts to fully grasp, and even harder to accept and practice. Presence is the state of understanding that the past can not be changed and you can't actually do anything in the future. The only moment you ever have is now -- it is, very literally, the only time you can think or do anything -- and recognizing that fact can make a huge difference in the way you manage your business affairs.

I'm not smoking anything, really.

Truly understanding the idea of presence can be pretty heady stuff, especially if you are on the cynical side (again, like me). If you really want to dig into it without sitting cross-legged on the floor, the work of author and modern-day philosopher Eckhart Tolle is a great place to start.
