Are you ready to partner with yoga? Yoga can empower you to embrace your own issues but you have to realize that it is a process. You have to be willing to change and to have some discipline. My advice, don’t just try it once, try it ten times at least. Through your practice, you eventually learn to be comfortable with the externals. Time on the yoga mat is your opportunity to focus inward and to release your struggles. There are some very beneficial yoga poses that help ease our minds, relieve our stress and thereby tune up our reproductive health. Here, let’s take a look at one of those poses now (excerpted from Fertility Yoga with Monica Morell, PhD video).
Child’s Pose
How To Do Child’s Pose? (see Medical Caution and Disclaimer below) Kneel on the floor. Touch your big toes together and sit on your heels, then separate your knees about as wide as your hips. Exhale and fold forward down between your thighs. Fully extend your arms on the floor over your head. Press your nose and forehead into your mat so that your spine is fully extended
Medical Caution and Disclaimer: The Child's Pose is not recommended for those who have diarrhea, or knee injury. Keep in mind that yoga exercises may not be appropriate for everyone. Consult your doctor before trying this or other yoga poses. The exercise, instructions and advice presented here are in no way intended as a substitute for medical treatment or counseling. There are no guarantees that by practicing yoga will result in pregnancy. Blessings, Monica Morell (May 2006, Fertility News & Research Update Newsletter)
