It is possible to increase fertility with yoga poses: restorative fertility yoga postures encourage human body to be more open to conception. It is not about being more flexible and being able to curl your left leg over your right shoulder: this will not boost your fertility: yoga is about balancing body and mind and not only improving your physical conditional and body flexibility. There are additional external factors that contribute to the fact you might have problems trying to conceive, and these include caffeine, alcohol, smoking, stress, including communication between partners and financial worries etc.

For this reason it is essential to include meditation into fertility yoga: involving your mind into connection between your body and mind. Yoga experts would say you should repeat a phrase of wanting to get pregnant in a way that awakens a peaceful spirit, transform it into mantra, and this way help yourself declare your purpose without fear or negativity.

Of course there are yoga postures that boost fertility, and are described as poses for infertility because they boost body restoration, promote hormone production, increase responsiveness of the body and promote blood circulation to reproductive organs.

Different fertility postures aim at different set of goals. For example, Supported Headstand (Salamba Sirsasana ), Supported Shoulderstand (Salamba Sarvangasana) and Supported Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana) both boost hormones and have balanced effect on hormones.

Forward bends are also recommendable; they include: Child’s Pose, Seated Forward Bend, Wide-Angle Pose (Upavistha Konasana), Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana) and Cobbler’s Pose or Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana), Staff Pose (Dandasana), Head-to-Knee Forward Bend (Janu Sirsasana), Garland Pose (Malasana) – they are rejuvenate the body. If you find some of these poses uncomfortable, place a chair in front of you and rest your head and arms on the seat for support. You can also use use a bolster for support.

Lotus pose, Reclining Bound Angle Pose (Bound Supta Baddha Konasana) and Reclining Hero Pose (Supta Virasana) relax and boost the abdominal area and send blood to reproductive organs at the same time. This is because they open and elongate the abdominal area.

Pose known as Legs on the Wall Pose (Viparita Karani) improves better sperm penetration in the uterus. This pose is recommendable after coitus since it encourages the possibility for the sperm penetration. Prepare the pose before coitus, and keep the abdominal area soft as you move into and out of the pose – your partner can assist you to make this possible. For beginners most of the poses might be a bit uncomfortable at start, for this reason it is recommended to use pillow or a towel that can help you feel more comfortable during the pose.
