Fertility Yoga
Instructor: Nikki
Practices from yoga, tantra, scientific research and eastern cultures are applied to naturally stimulate the ovarian function and create an optimal womb environment. Many of the teachings are from the Amazonian women in Peru who have passed down these sacred movements for generations. We will increase the energy flow through the body, connect to the earth and learn beneficial exercises for this special time of conception. A variety of body, mind and spirit resources are drawn from yoga to help women cope with the stress associated with uncertainties around this time and to increase the ability to self-nurture in preparation for motherhood. The focus is on creating space and optimizing blood flow to muscles and connective tissues in the lower pelvis. This activates the loops that link ovaries and hormonal pathways during the menstrual cycle and also in the early phases of conception and implantation. Fertility yoga offers a safe space to relax and start your pregnancy journey in a nurturing environment. This class is for those who are planning to conceive, undergoing fertility treatments or IVF or have just conceived (0-14 weeks of pregnancy)
