Yoga has become widely popular over the last several years and is most commonly known for helping people to lose weight, tone their bodies, increase flexibility, and helping to relax. But did you know yoga can also be beneficial to a woman's fertility?
The key to becoming pregnant for any woman is proper hormonal balance, timing, and a little luck. Yoga has been used regularly by people to help get a proper balance of their bodies, this includes balancing their hormones. There are several different types of yoga and numerous poses to choose from to strengthen a woman's reproductive system. Yoga for fertility is also beneficial to a woman trying to conceive because it will hep reduce stress normally associated with trying to conceive.
Some benefits of yoga for fertility are:
- Balances hormones
- May help to clear adhesion's and blockages in the reproductive system
- Increases circulation to a woman's ovaries, uterus, and vagina
- Supports a healthy immune system
- Brings peace to a woman's mind and body
Some suggested poses to get you started toward hormonal balance are: supported headstand, supported should stand, and a supported bridge pose. After you have these poses done, try some forward bend poses such as: bound angle pose, head-to-knee forward bend, seated forward bend, and a wide angle pose. Some additional poses to try are some reclining poses such as: reclined bound angle pose and a reclined hero's pose. And of course one of the best poses to try post sexual intercourse is the legs-up-the-wall pose to help keep the sperm in the woman's body.
If you want to try some of these poses yourself, information on them can easily be found Online. Or if you would rather have an instructional video or book of the poses, try your local bookstore in the self-help section. Another idea if you already have a Nintendo Wii, try the Wii Fit which has yoga on it. The Wii Fit is great for beginner because it helps you with the poses and lets you know when you are not doing them correctly and how to correct it. It's almost as good as having your own personal trainer!
