About Lynn’s Yoga for Fertility Classes

See available classes » 

In a recent Harvard-based study, women participating in a yoga and relaxation program increased their chances of pregnancy by almost 3 times.

Welcome to Yoga for Fertility!  These classes include yoga poses, breathing practices and relaxation techniques to balance the body’s hormonal system, increase energy flow, reduce stress, and nourish the reproductive organs.  We use specific yoga postures to support each  phase of the monthly cycle.  I can also offer specific modifications in the Live Online or In-Studio classes for anyone in an IUI, IVF or other treatment program. I also offer some fertility-supporting topic for discussion and practice each week. The classes are designed to address mind, body and spirit, optimizing your ability to conceive and enjoy a healthy pregnancy.

The class environment is small, personal and very supportive.  All experience levels are welcome.  If you are already practicing yoga, it is highly recommended that you attend a session of Yoga for Fertility to learn how to use yoga to support your fertility, and how to adapt poses during various parts of your cycle.

I developed the curriculum for the Yoga for Fertility classes, starting in 2002, based on my extensive research on yoga and its effects on hormones and the reproductive system.  In class, we also use my book Yoga and Fertility, A Journey to Health and Healing In my teaching, I draw on my 20 years of yoga teaching experience, and my own personal challenges with fertility.  I am also a Certified Yoga Therapist, and a Master Teacher of Energy Medicine Yoga.

Testimonials from past Yoga for Fertility students:

“I had my first ultrasound today – and it’s two!  So, your yoga class really REALLY worked well for me!  Thank you again for your help along my fertility journey!  A.S.

Our baby girl was born in June and is doing great.  She is an IUI baby (second attempt). Our problem was my low AMH (0.4) and according to doctors we had an extremely low chance of getting pregnant with my own eggs. And here she is, my lovely baby!  I truly thank you for what you do. I believe that I would not have gotten pregnant without your help and your yoga classes.”  A.O.

“I feel like a switch has been flipped since I started regular yoga. I am just more calm and relaxed about everything – not just fertility-related things. Previous to this class, I had only done yoga classes that felt like a workout. Now I see the benefit of doing yoga that helps calm the nervous system. I finally feel that I am off the emotional roller-coaster! I have made a commitment to do some yoga every day, because I really notice the difference.” E.C.K.

“I started doing yoga every day, and it helped me work through the grief of losing my mother recently, followed by a miscarriage shortly after. All my friends told me I was too stressed to get pregnant, and I didn’t really know what they meant. I knew I was under an amazing amount of stress, but I didn’t know how to stop it. Doing yoga every day got me out of my head and helped me to listen to my body, and eventually helped reduce my stress and anxiety. I just started doing 15 minutes a day and following the sample lesson in Lynn’s book. I even started teaching yoga to my co-workers! Despite hearing from several doctors that I had hardly any chance of getting pregnant with my own eggs (because of having an FSH of 48 at one point!) I am now 12 weeks pregnant on a natural cycle, and I know yoga helped me get to this place and has truly changed my outlook and my life.” M.E.
