Yoga and Fertility Project

Fertility and stress
Scientific research done up to now has shown that stress can negatively impact the ability to get pregnant. A woman going through the infertility treatment has to deal with stress on many levels; stress before and after the exams, stress about the Assisted Reproduction Technology outcome, stress related to dealing with the partner, stress about dealing with family &friends etc. Women with more biomarkers for stress in their saliva had less of a chance of getting pregnant during ovulation than women with fewer biomarkers for stress, and that women with higher levels of cortisol in their bodies had an increased risk of miscarriage.
All the practices of yoga help the body to be more healthy, balanced and full of vitality, the mind to be more relaxed and positive. By applying the principles and practices of yoga in everyday life, one learns how to stay more receptive, positive and balanced. That creates a positive step towards pregnancy and healthy delivery.

Fertility and Sterility Journal states:
Stress negatively affects reproductive outcomes in IVF cycles and this study suggests YOGA can be an adjuvant to improve the pregnancy rates in couples undergoing ART.
