Learn Which Yoga Poses Can Help You Get Pregnant!

Here I am going to share my most favorite yoga poses that can help couples increase their chances of conception. I often refer to each pose as yoga for fertility pose to emphasize their power to aid fertility and conception but the yoga poses I will be presenting are not strictly used for fertility issues, they are widely used in yoga for many other therapeutic problems and to increase general well being.

Please, consult with you health care provider before starting any exercise program. If you are doing in vitro fertilization implantation stage, do not do yoga unless recommended by your fertility medical physician.

Make sure you practice yoga on an empty stomach and at least two horse before or after eating.

The following yoga poses are very easy to execute, but having a yoga teacher is always a good idea.

Legs-up-the-wall Pose

Among all the yoga poses for fertility, this is my favorite because it helps release stress locked in your lower back, but most importantly if practiced right after sex, it encourages the sperm to penetrate deeper into the female reproductive organs.

1. Place a folded towel underneath your tailbone while you rest your legs on the wall.

2 Your tailbone should tilt toward the ceiling so that the pubic bone is pointing upward.

3. Your shoulders, arms, and head should be resting on the floor.

4. Once you are in the correct pelvic position, allow the legs to relax by bending the knees allowing the abdominal and pelvic floor to relax completely.

5. Breath slowly using your abdominal muscles.

6. You can stay in this position for at least 20 minutes.

7. Do not practice this pose if you are menstruating.

Relaxation Pose

This pose is the most relaxing of all the yoga poses. You should always start and end your practice with this pose. If you do not have time for other poses, just do this one. This pose will help you reduce stress and find a way to connect your mind with your body. Forming this connection as often as possible adds a tremendous healing power to your body. If you have to choose only one pose to practice to reduce your stress levels and increase the chances of conception, this is the one. Practice it every day for at least 20 minutes. This yoga for fertility pose is indicated for both partners.
