YOGA FOR FERTILITYFertility can be hugely emotive topic for many and the path to conception can be one that can be fraught with challenges and feelings of failure. We are not here to exploit those feelings of vulnerability. If you have been struggling with unexplained fertility, it’s tempting to believe those peddling a magic bullet. We do however passionately believe that as part of other lifestyle changes, yoga can be an incredibly powerful tool in supporting your journey.
