Core Components
Restorative Yoga
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.
Slow flow Yoga
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.
Meditation
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.
Visualizations
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 safe to procreate.
Yogic Philosophy
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.
Community
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 experience, but sometimes just hearing the words of another can clarify your path forward.
