Abstract

 Fertility yoga uses a specific series of stretches that have a positive effect on reproductive health. Many number of yoga poses are there which a person can perform. Each yoga pose helps not only to strengthen the body and mind but can help to regain balance in the body as well. Yoga has many other benefits like flexibility and toning, including improving fertility. Yoga helps a woman for pregnancy and get pregnant. Eight best fertility yoga are Alternate nostril breathing (NadiShodhan pranayama), Bee breath (Bhramari pranayama), Seated forward bend (Paschimottanasana), Standing forward bend (Hastapadasana), One-legged forward bend (Janushirshasana), Butterfly pose (Baddhakonasana), Legs up the wall pose (Viparita Karani) and Yogic sleep (Yoga Nidra). Fertility yoga can help with fertility issues all by itself, it is best used in conjunction with other fertility treatment programs.
