Besides promoting a healthy life style, a consistent yoga practice
will address your fertility needs at any stage of your process.
We focus on a sequence of postures (asanas), breathing (pranayama),
meditation and relaxation techniques developed specifically for
you.
In addition to adding strength, tone and balance to your body,
yoga addresses how you respond to the stress in your life and
provides you with a path to discovering a more authentic sense
of yourself.
My work specifically focus's on helping those trying to conceive,
those who are currently pregnant and those who have recently given
birth.
Yoga is effective in addressing infertility because it:
- promotes a healthy
life style
- balances hormonal
problems
- stimulates and strengthens
the reproductive organs
- heightens awareness
of the connection between your body and mind
- provides stress
management and relaxation techniques
One of the many benefits of yoga is balance. Physical, emotional,
hormonal, energetic, psychological, systemic
the list goes
on. Your practice should be based on your needs. When a couple
is trying to conceive, it is essential to take in to account the
lifestyle, nutritional choices and personality of the individuals
so that the right pace and style of practice can be chosen.
Particular yoga poses (asanas) can stimulate and balance the
endocrine system, especially the ovaries, hypothalamus and pituitary
glands. They can also strengthen reproductive organs. Structural
and functional problems can be addressed as well by activating
the reproductive organs.
Meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques promote a sense
of peace, wellness and a greater connection to the self. In yogic
philosophy, you are already whole; the practice leads you back
to the experience of it!
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny
matters compared to what lies within us." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
