Why Bend, Breathe, and Conceive?
Bend, Breathe & Conceive is an exciting new yoga program specifically
created to help couples conceive. Anna Davis, Ph.D., RYT, scientist and
yoga instructor, guides you through a series of physical poses, yogic
breathing techniques, visualizations, and meditation practices designed
to integrate your body, mind, and spirit, to cultivate balance and to
promote fertility and optimal reproductive health.
In a brief introduction, Dr. Davis explains the physiology of fertility:
- Learn how daily anxieties and "fertility frustration" can
trigger the release of stress hormones that disrupt the healthy
functioning of the reproductive system.
- Relieve stress with proven relaxation techniques designed to
restore mental and physical balance and actually increase conception
rates (Domar, A. et al. Fertility and Sterility, 73:4, 2000).
- Build strength, increase flexibility, and learn to shift your
physiology away from stress towards relaxation to promote reproductive
health.
- The Practice: This yoga practice is geared for students of all levels
from beginning to advanced. A 60 minute dynamic flow yoga practice
includes 10 minutes of guided relaxation.
