Yoga Poses for Infertility Print E-mail
Yoga’s effectiveness at promoting fertility is due to its emphasis of a healthy diet and lifestyle as well as its ability to balance hormonal problems and stimulate and strengthen the reproductive organs. Overwork, stress, smoking, alcohol and a poor diet must all be avoided as they are known contributing factors to infertility.

Hormonal imbalances are usually due to a deficiency (Langhana) or under activity of bodily functions and insufficient production of bodily substances. Deficiency symptoms of infertility include: fatigue, dizziness, depression, backache, general weakness, chronic illnesses, scanty menses and long or short periods. Use the endocrine regulating poses as well as the calming restorative poses for hormonal imbalances.

Structural or functional problems usually involve excess (Brahmana) patterns of overactive body functions and obstructions of energy. Excess symptoms of infertility include: abdominal pain, easily irritated or angered, PMS, irregular periods with dark blood and clots. Use the hip opening poses, abdominal massaging poses and the calming restorative poses for structural or functional problems.

Yogic Wisdom
Seek to know him from whom all beings have come,
by whom they all live, and unto whom they all return.
He is Brahman.

The Taittiriya Upanishad

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
