If you are struggling to get pregnant and are looking to try anything, then this type of yoga may be for you.
It’s called “yoga for fertility” – not hard to remember – which are designed to be part therapy, part gentle and relaxing poses. Women who have been just starting their fertility journey or have been undergoing treatments such as IVF are making this class quite popular.
Tami Quinn is the co-founder of holistic fertility center Pulling Down The Moon and says many yogis are even working alongside major medical centers.
“We found that women were looking for a place to come where they not only could exercise their physical body, but they could come to a place where they would feel support,” says Quinn.
However, Dr. Samantha Pfeifer with the American Society of Reproductive Medicine says there are no conclusive studies linking stress and fertility.
“The whole philosophy of yoga is self-improvement and cleansing and exercise, and focusing on the positive in life. It’s great for weight reduction, for stress reduction, for all sorts of things,” says Dr. Pfeifer.
“We don’t guarantee that every single woman that leaves here is going to leave with a baby, but we’re pretty confident that you’re going to feel happier. You’re going to feel healthy and you’re going to feel more whole,” says Quinn.
