Infertility is one of the most common troubles induced by stress and erratic lifestyles. Despite their continuous attempts and medical assistance, many couples still complain that they are unable to conceive. If this seems like your problem too, it’s probably time you embrace the curative practice of yoga.
Yoga poses enhances blood flow and circulation through improving the body’s flexibility. Better perfusion to the reproductive tracts can improve fertility quite significantly.
Yoga is also known to fight off obesity and is hugely beneficial in keeping hormonal imbalances like PCOS at bay or controlled.
Additionally, when used in conjunction with fertility treatments yoga can lower stress, and allows couple to sleep and feel better through what can often be an overwhelming journey. I also recommend Yoga to women who are anxious to stay fit during their treatment process.
Yoga Poses to boost fertility
1.Paschimottanasana (Seated forward bend):
The Paschimottanasana stimulates the ovaries and uterus. The forward bend stretches the muscles at the lower back, hips and hamstrings.
2.Hastapadasana (Standing forward bend):
In Hastapadasana you have to bend forward touching the hand to the feet. It stretches all the important muscles of the back and this will improve the blood supply to the pelvic region and nervous system. This bend helps relieve stress from the abdomen region and make the spinal cord more flexible.
3.Janu Shirasana (One-Legged Forward Bend):
Janu Shirasana is useful during pregnancy as it will strengthen your lower back muscles. When properly executed, this yoga pose is very relaxing and releases tension from the lower back. It effectively stretches the calves and the hamstrings, making them very supple.
4.Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose):
The Baddha Konasana improves the flexibility in your hip regions, as it stretches the inner thighs, genital and knees. It helps release any toxins and negative energy in the areas of hip and groin.
5.Balasna (Child’s Pose):
In this pose, the muscles of hips, thighs and ankles are stretched and strengthened. It calms the brain and helps relieve stress and fatigue.
6.Bhramari Pranayama (Bee breath):
The Bee breath instantly relieves the body of tension, anger and anxiety. The chances of conception are better with a more relaxed body and mind.
7.Bridge Pose:
This is a tough yogic pose. This asana requires you to lift your pelvic region up while keeping your buttock muscles firm. When the pelvic area is thrust upwards, both the energy and blood flow get circulated to the uterus and ovaries.
8.Cobra Pose:
This is an important asana that strengthens your back muscles while stimulating hormone production in the uterus. Lie on your stomach. Later, lift your upper body portion by putting your weight on your hands. Raise the upper body and look up.
9.Shavasana (Yogic sleep):
Shavasana or corpse pose is helpful to induce a conscious yogic sleep called Yoga Nidra. It aids in attaining equilibrium in the body and mind. This pose is very simple yet powerful amongst other fertility yoga poses for women.”
