TRY FERTILITY YOGA TO SUPPORT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

Nowadays, the pursuit of professional success has trumped the need to settle down and start a family among modern individuals. Added to this are stress, health problems and tight deadlines, all of which have a detrimental impact on the human body. Though it may not be visible immediately; late nights, strict deadlines, skipped meals and hurried lifestyles have a long term effect on both your physical and mental health. Infertility is one of the issues that has come to be because of such erratic lifestyles. 

When the word 'yoga' is mentioned people generally associate it to anti-ageing and losing weight. The fact of the matter is that yoga has many other benefits apart from flexibility and toning such as improving the fertility rates among modern individuals.

Yogasanas 

 
  1. Bee Breath (Bhramari Pranayama) and Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana) reduces anxiety and worries while improving the psychological state of mind.
  2. Reclining Bound Angle (Supta Baddha Konasana) helps in reducing discomfort associated with fertility.
  3. The “Bhujangasan-cobra pose” has numerous benefits. It helps increase the flow of blood flow to the ovaries and the uterus. This aids in creating hormonal balance, as well as the production of cervical mucus that makes the journey of the sperm to the egg easier.
  4. Certain yoga poses act on endocrine glands which affect fertility; eg. Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana) helps stimulate the thyroid gland, the dysfunction of which can lead to infertility. Supported Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) also acts on the thyroid gland.
  5. Legs Up The Wall (Viparita Karani) -This yoga asana helps in retaining sperms close to the uterus.

Making yoga part of your daily routine


“Yoga can definitely be used for fertility benefits alone or as an adjunct to different fertility modalities. It should be an integral part of our routine to achieve the said goal” added Dr Anagha Karkhanis, Director Cocoon Fertility.

Yoga is an incremental process where over time you can improve your strength, flexibility and balance. Begin by doing fertility yoga 2-3 times a week and you can increase it up to 5 times a week if you so desire.
