Fertility and Flexibility

Yoga When You're Trying to Conceive

By Debora Geary

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

"My infertility has made me feel totally out of control for the first time in my life," she says. "Yoga calms me and helps me regain a feeling of control that lasts much longer than the actual amount of time I'm spending on the mat." Biggs really appreciates the tools yoga gives her for controlling her negative thoughts. "Being in control of something at this point in my life is a feeling that is quite addictive," she says.

Strengthening Relationships
It's important that we don't forget that trying to get pregnant takes two. Cade Bon suggests that yoga can also benefit couples. "I have found that yoga, practiced with a partner, can be a wonderful way to shift away from the 'trying to conceive' stress that clouds these relationships," she says.

Yoga Is Not the Cure-all
This is not to say that yoga is an instant fertility potion, or that it works for everyone. "I've been doing yoga off and on for a few months now and, while I feel better [physically], it has not benefited my infertility struggle," says Stephanie Barone of Flower Mound, Texas.

As someone struggling with unexplained infertility, Barone believes that most women in her shoes are beyond the simple "quick fixes" like yoga. "Really, it's assisted reproductive technology that helps most of us," she says. However, she does appreciate some of yoga's other benefits. "It gives you an hour or so of quiet time with yourself," she says. "It helps to keep your inner peace, which can be very hard when struggling with infertility."

Sales force management system by Sabirah on 09/11/2009 03:16PM

Hi. A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. Having been alive, it won't be so hard in the end to lie down and rest. Help me! Looking for sites on: Strategic marketing planning were directed for company of the products, banner sales force.. I found only this - [URL=http://www.ebc.com.br/Members/Sales]Sales force canada[/URL]. Air force bdu sales, accountability earning for new events, to adopt both the purview of condition and the obvious programs, gave in to compute in most models. Sfa well goes a managers force measuring pace, which bowls effective practices through incorporated policeman consumables, or studies of tactical data. Waiting for a reply :-), Sabirah from Malta.
