yoga for fertility

yogababy recommends practicing a restorative flow yoga class to aid fertility and conception. There is a general sequence of yoga postures and breathwork that, when practiced regularly, will help you to reduce high stress levels that can inhibit the proper functioning of the endocrine system. 

Scientists are studying the effects of stressful emotions on the body and mind and they have found that stress has physiological effects that will alter the balance of hormones in the body - especially relating to fertility.

This practice brings the body into a state of relaxation that will enhance flexibility and comfort whilst doing yoga. Our yoga classes are safe for women during Assisted Reproductive Technology. The stress associated with infertility can be lessened through adding the health-enhancing benefits of yoga to modern medical intervention.  

How does it work?

Specific yoga postures work to stimulate the energy to the reproductive organs and, as well as toning the pelvic muscles, will result in emotional balance.

For women: the practice of yoga can enhance a woman's fertility by aligning her menstrual cycle with the moon cycle.  These yogababy classes teach the yoga postures that can be practiced over the course of a woman's moon/month cycle.

For men: the cycling through a restorative to dynamic yoga practice will enhance his ability to rejuvenate and reduce stress.

The practice of Systemic yoga invokes pulsations, undulations and spirals to free up the fluids in the body. Release pelvic discomfort and lower back pain through breath, sound, fluid movement and deep muscle relaxation.

I don't want to get pregnant, can I still come?
This class is not just for women who are trying to get pregnant, although it would help with that process.  It is also for anyone who is interested in enhancing general well-being and learning to relax.  You will be physically challenged and find a new way of bringing aliveness to your yoga practice.

" I'm PREGNANT!!!!  Thank you so much for your wonderful fertility classes - they were truly such a joy for me to attend each week. I'm so appreciative of how much effort you put into designing each of the classes with added movements and information each time. I loved the chanting and humming and all the wonderful positions obviously very much contributed to me getting pregnant at 40! " - Maud

 "Thank you for the wonderful time I had attending the fertility yoga class. It really helped me with working through my feelings left from my miscarriage and the frustration I was experiencing with having trouble conceiving again. I would really like to book in for the Active Birth Yoga because I AM PREGNANT!" - Jodi (Former Student)

"I attended the fertility yoga classes and found them very beneficial and enjoyable. Prior to attending the fertility yoga classes I had very little yoga experience but had read about the benefits of practicing yoga when trying to become pregnant - and after trying for over a year I was more than willing to try yoga.  By attending the fertility yoga classes I learnt how yoga postures could assist my cycle to promote fertility and I learnt invaluable meditation and relaxation exercises that I continue to use regularly. I looked forward to each fertility yoga class every week and went on to attend the Pregnancy yoga classes and am currently enjoying attending the Active Birth yoga classes. I would (and have) highly recommend the fertility yoga classes!" - Kim
