Yoga position - Improve your fertility

Exercise is very important generally but especially so when we are trying to conceive. Provided that exercises are moderate and not overly strenuous, we can experience many health benefits. Exercise also makes you feel good because of the release of endorphins.

Exercise is most important if we are obese, because obesity can cause insulin resistance which in turn inhibits ovulation. Exercising half an hour, three times a week can help improve fertility. However, it is important not to overdo it because this can reduce fertility rather than increase it.


Yoga is a perfect form of exercise for women who are trying to conceive for several reasons:

1. It is a gentle form of exercise. Unlike rigorous exercises, you feel rejuvenated instead of exhausted after a good session.

2. Pranayama, the art of breathing control, which is part of the yoga practice, is deeply relaxing. Yoga reduces stress and anxiety by relaxing tight muscles and reducing the release cortisol, a stress-related hormone.

3. Yoga helps the body to detoxify and promotes general well-being.It helps your body to heal itself.

4. Yoga increases blood supply to the reproductive organs. It strengthens the muscles in the reproductive area.

5. Yoga is especially beneficial for conception if done together with your partner to promote a peaceful and deep relationship.

6. Yoga can correct hormonal imbalance.

7. It promotes mental and emotional health. The quiet time to yourself will help you to control your negative thoughts and find deep inner peace. For some, yoga is not just a physical exercise but also a spiritual exercise.

8. Some yoga positions have been recommended for women who are trying to get pregnant. These positions should be done after intercourse to help keep sperm inside the vaginal canal for a longer time. Especially recommended is the "Legs Up On The Wall" pose. This pose involves lying down near the wall and putting your legs up against the wall. Support your buttocks with some pillows if needed.

Although it is not impossible to learn yoga from books or videos, it is much more effective to join a class. This is because your instructor can correct your poses if necessary and this is especially beneficial for beginners.
