Yoga for Early Pregnancy after Fertility Treatment or Loss
Yoga for the First Trimester
If you’re here, you know that the emotions that come with pregnancy after fertility treatment and loss are complicated. Many find this time to be stressful and overwhelming.
The Early Pregnancy program was created exactly for this reason. I’ve been through this process. I remember feeling lost and confused as I felt conflicting emotions I couldn’t explain or work through.
This series provides guidance, tips, and reflections to help you move your body in a way that generates more joy and less anxiety through your first trimester.
The mental and emotional effects of early pregnancy are balanced with the guided meditations and visualizations that I included in the companion guides. This will shift your mindset and extend your practice into your daily life.
“After 2+ years of IVF treatment and 2 early pregnancy losses this series really spoke to me. I felt like Kerry was taking my thoughts and feelings about being pregnant directly from my head and totally validating my experience. This feels really good, like, someone actually gets it. The first trimester can feel so long– between feeling unwell, and the emotional doubt and fear that sets in. Reaching the second trimester is a check-point I was fixated on, and this breaks up that first trimester into smaller more constructive chunks and feels very supportive along the way.”

Frequently Asked Questions

This one I totally understand – after loss and many unsuccessful rounds of IVF, we put up walls to protect ourselves. We are scared to sneeze, trip, or twist our torso. The yoga classes provided are extremely gentle and appropriate for this time.
