Description:

 This in-depth series is  specifically designed to help you cultivate awareness around the physical, emotional and mental challenges surrounding fertility. 

No prior yoga experience is necessary

Practicing specific yoga postures stimulates and tones the reproductive system, enhances the flow of energy and circulation through the body, and balances hormone levels by improving endocrine function. Yoga helps reduce stress, anxiety, depression, all of which can accompany — and exacerbate — fertility challenges. This small group class is designed for women who are trying to conceive, either naturally or through assisted reproductive technology.

We will practice:

•Breathing to bring prana (life energy) to reproductive organs
•Mantra meditation to focus your mind on what you want
•Postures for circulation and hormone balancing
•Hypnotic relaxation specific for fertility
We will also have time for education and discussion around other physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of conception and mothering.

This is a 4-week series, and each participant is asked to attend all session, as they build on each other. There are no drop-ins.

Dates: Classes are a series of 4 Wednesdays, May 16th – June 6th.  6pm to 7:30pm
Cost: per each 1½ hour session is $30/person. Payment for all 4 classes is $120
Class size is limited to 8 women.
