Best Yoga poses for Fertility

Trying to conceive naturally, especially at a more ‘advanced’ age, can prove difficult.

These days, more and more women are turning to in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in order to have a child.

But if you are having fertility issues, there are also many natural remedies that can help you instead of or in addition to IVF treatments.

Unfortunately, stress plays a large role in our lives these days. With our fast-paced world, juggling careers, homes, partners, and other commitments, it’s no wonder so many women are struggling to fall pregnant naturally. Stress can affect our bodies so radically that it can cause all manner of problems when we are trying to conceive. These problems conceiving can, in turn, cause more stress, exacerbating the issue.

How Yoga Can Benefit Fertility

One of the best ways to de-stress is through exercise. Yoga is a great form of exercise to do when you’re trying to conceive, as it is gentle on the joints and promotes healthy blood flow while stretching and toning the body.

Some experts also say that by doing very specific yoga poses you can encourage the flow of blood to the groin, thereby stimulating your reproductive organs, as well as releasing any muscle tension.

The best kind of yoga to do for fertility is a gentler, mindful sort, not the very demanding Bikram, or heated, yoga.
