Fertile Body Yoga works in harmony with your menstrual or IVF cycle, spends time in the relaxation response, moves energy and blood throughout the body, and helps to balance hormones.
Supported still postures, held for longer periods of time trigger the relaxation response. This gives the body the opportunity to processes stress hormones and bring the body's systems to homeostasis - when the body is its most fertile.
Mindful slow flow movement moves stagnant energy, increases blood flow, and balances hormones. The body is given choice to lead the movement which allows you to feel good in your body, as well as to tune into what the body is saying to you.
Refocusing attention inwards and away from the constant outward pull of the stress of fertility treatments and TTC, can bring a sense of calmness and clarity. This state lowers stress, and when stress is lower, the body is more fertile.
When the mind has something to anchor to, it is less likely to ruminate on your fertility situation. Being led into an extreme state of relaxation can trigger the relaxation response, which is a signal to the body that it is safe to procreate.
Each class is based on a theme which will allow you to carry the philosophy off the mat and into your daily life. Embodying the theme in practice brings the esoteric into a relatable form. The lessons from Yoga can increase your quality of life, which in turn supports your fertility.
Meeting others on the same path helps to minimize isolation, which improves quality of life and lowers stress. Not only is it a great way to exchange information and experiences, but sometimes just hearing the words of another can clarify your path forward.
Research shows, with overwhelming evidence, that it is stressful to be infertile and/or undergo ART. Not a huge surprise! Studies have also shown that those with a lower stress level are more likely to become pregnant, especially when doing IVF. Pregnancy and Stress do not have a cause and effect interaction with pregnancy.
Research is also showing that the use of Yoga and other mind/body practices to mitigate the inherent stresses of assistive reproductive therapy and infertility can greatly reduce the symptoms of stress.
Those that regularly practice Yoga are better able to handle the ups and downs of treatment, are overall less stressed out, and have higher pregnancy rates.
