Infertility - Yoga Management
by Dr Rajesh NairOriginated in India, Yoga is a centuries-old system of exercise and relaxation, in which a series of different postures are designed to tone and strengthen all areas of body and is now used by couples in order to increase their fertility.
Fertility yoga is a specific branch of yoga, where certain yoga poses are championed for helping with infertility as they open up pelvis and hip joints, increase blood flow to pelvis and rebalance hormones. Some poses even claim to help to stimulate ovaries.
To alleviate stress about trying to conceive, the cycle of fertility is to be mapped. When entering a fertile time, restorative poses are to be practiced, which leads to softening the abdominal area and removing tension from around the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries thereby increasing chances of pregnancy.
The practice of several asanas that aids in conception are
Salamba Sirsasana (Supported Headstand), Salamba Sarvangasana (Supported Shoulderstand), Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Suppported Bridge Pose) are recommended because of their hypothesized effects on hormonal balance. The reclining poses like Bound Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclined Bound Angle Pose), Supta Virasana (Reclined Hero's Pose) are helpful as they open and elongate the abdominal area.
To overcome infertility it is advisable to focus on gentler forms of yoga like
Hatha Yoga - which focuses on performing postures using the appropriate form and encourages breathing and meditation.
Kripalu Yoga - which helps to increase awareness of the mind, body, and spirit through a series of easy to perform postures
Couples' Yoga - As postures are performed with the help of a partner, it works to bring couples together, improving communication and interconnectivity.
