A common question we have when we start our family planning or formation journey is, "Do I have to stop practicing yoga or exercise? How do I manage stress and hormone levels while modifying my movement practice? How far in advance can I start nurturing my fertility?" Empowering your fertility goes beyond the clinic – it encompasses your holistic well-being -- for females and males. That's why Rowena Mittal, MS, PhD, CYT, is thrilled to share her weekly Yoga for Fertility Care classes to support your family's formation whether preserving your fertility, trying to conceive naturally, or TTC with the help of science including the lifestyle improvement, gamete retrieval, IVF, embryo transfer, and waiting periods. Rowena has tailored the 8-limbed yoga practice to meet your needs to stay physically active, mentally balanced, emotionally nourished, self-empowered, and spiritually enlightened in a safe space!
Class Benefits
-
Reduces stress and cortisol levels naturally by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, which may boost egg quantity or quality and implantation
-
Promotes circulation to reproductive organs and reduces discomfort from treatment side effects through safe yoga postures and dynamic movement
-
Aids in maintaining physical strength, mobility, energy, and focus on and off the mat
-
Eases tension and reduces anxiety by providing a supportive community around physical and emotional well-being
-
Yoga for fertility over 6 weeks was shown to reduce anxiety by 20% which led to better conception outcomes (Jasani, 2016)
-
For those with ovaries: Excludes inversions, twists, or high-impact pelvic movement so you can maintain practice while reducing risk of exercise-induced ovarian torsion
-
Students within 10 days post egg retrieval or embryo transfer practice nourishing restorative postures (rest on props) which support healing and implantation by tapping into the parasympethetic pathway while the rest of class is practicing dynamic movement
