Yoga and Fertility

Hudson Valley Fertility is a large advocate for integrating yoga into our comprehensive fertility programs. Similar to acupuncture, yoga offers numerous benefits that enhance both health and vitality, particularly for individuals navigating the challenges of infertility. Engaging in a brief series of slow, gentle poses can improve mobility, flexibility, strength, and circulation while concurrently reducing stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Additionally, yoga has been demonstrated to help balance hormones and promote overall wellness of the body and mind.

Yoga for fertility health is designed to be a nurturing, low-intensity practice that prepares the body for pregnancy and childbirth. This approach resembles a self-guided full-body massage rather than a traditional exercise class, promoting support, nourishment, and strength. Participants will also acquire breathing techniques, known as pranayama, which are effective in reducing stress, tension, anxiety, and discomfort while enhancing focus and tranquility.
