Fertility Yoga is more than just movement. Yoga uses breathing techniques to form a bridge between body and mind. Yoga can help you to release physical as well as emotional stress at a deep level. It switches off the body's stress responses, lowers stress hormones, which means there is more progesterone available for re-production.
I have been teaching fertility yoga and nutrition for many years and its always wonderful to see women move from my fertility workshops into the pregnancy classes.
This workshop will guide you through a fertility practice designed to improve your health and prepare you body mind and spirit for pregnancy and motherhood. This is for women who are planning to get pregnant and want to prepare for pregnancy and women who are trying to get pregnant at the moment.
A fertility yoga practice is more than just movement. Yoga uses breathing techniques to form a bridge between body and mind.
Yoga can help you release physical as well as emotional tension at a deep level. It switches off your body’s stress response which means there is more progesterone available for reproduction.
In this session we will move through a fertility yoga practice that includes dedicated yoga movement, consciously using your breathing and relaxing your body. In deep relaxation the body stops producing adrenaline, cortisol and aldosterone from progesterone. Your body becomes calm and relaxed making more progesterone available for reproduction.
A good blood circulation to the reproductive organs and glands supports fertility. Normal work-out exercises increase blood flow but are less focused than yoga poses.
Deep breathing is beneficial on so many levels. It will help you relax deeply but also energise and oxygenate your system properly. Oxygen is crucial for energy production.
We need energy for good fertility, healthy cells, including egg and sperm cells.
Did you know that we make stress hormones at the expense of fertility hormones? We use progesterone to make adrenaline. On this course you will learn what puts your body into stress mode and how can you prevent it.
Dehydration, fluctuating blood sugar and nutrient shortages influence your hormone regulation and therefore, your fertility. Did you know that the ageing of your reproductive system is really acidification? if you understand the process you will be motivated to reverse it. Last but not least, fertility starts with healthy intestinal flora. For nutritional support on your fertility journey I work 121 with women. Get in touch for more information.

A breathing and deep relaxation practice to support your journey into pregnancy
"We worked through yoga sequences which helped me to relax. This became my daily practice. We also looked at diet and nutrition and made changes to help support my fertility and also looked at ways to support hubby’s reproductive health. I felt so much better within myself, had more energy, and this new regime gave me another focus than ‘trying’ for a baby. I felt connected to my body again. I started to trust it. 2 months later I found out that I was pregnant!"

Kirsten 35, fertility yoga gave her the space to relax and focus on herself. After trying for a baby for almost a year she took up a daily fertility yoga practice, made time to breathe deeply and relax and adjusted her diet. After 6 months she conceived naturally and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
Melanie was 42, and after 8 long years of going down the medical route both at home and abroad she was not allowed any more fertility treatments. 6 months after taking up a daily fertility yoga practice and adjusting her diet her fybroids cleared her allergies disappeared and an auto immune disease which had been a constant struggle for her also disappeared. She conceived naturally and gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
Ellen, 30 suffered from a heavy form of endometriosis and doctors feared uterine adhesions (Ashermans Syndrome) which can damage the womb and make pregnancy impossible. Time was ticking and she needed one IUI and hormone treatment after another. She started yoga and adjusted her diet to support the inflammations in her womb and detox of the excess hormones. Ellen conceived naturally in between treatment cycles.
"The yoga and nutrition sessions focused on the changes I could make to support my body into pregnancy. The combination of yoga, nutrition and deep relaxation was life changing. Deep relaxation included deep breathing, visualisation, meditation which was so amazing - it transformed me.The nutritional advice and support was priceless. I genuinely felt wonderful - inside and out! I felt like my stress levels had reduced, I felt positive in my outlook and extremely healthy too! I am delighted to say that we are now... 29 weeks pregnant. The changes I’ve made in my body and mind through this work have had a massive bearing on the outcome and I can’t thank Jenni enough and right now I am enjoying pregnancy yoga!"

Jenni: “For over 10 years I have worked with mothers through pregnancy and postnatal yoga. Many women shared with me the difficulty and the heartache of their journey into pregnancy. I began teaching fertility yoga and saw many women relax, soften their bodies, connect with themselves and conceive. I studied nutritional healing to support my fertility yoga and came away with a deep understanding that we are not separate from what we eat. What we eat affects everything. My passion for Fertility Yoga was born. And more clients got pregnant.”
