Sherry Longbottom, a registered nurse and yoga instructor to develop the so-called fertility fertility yoga or yoga.
The whole point of yoga is to avoid fertility yoga poses that can overload the body, so the more Longbottom taught yoga poses are simple but can help relieve anxiety, especially for women who are undergoing certain fertility treatments.
Although the fertility benefits of yoga practice is not as big as in vitro fertilization or IVF procedures or hormone therapy, but Longbottom said if yoga can help women who want to conceive by encouraging them to be relaxed and calm because that's what it takes to make the process run smoothly fertilization. Yoga is also claimed to be the blood flow to the pelvic area.
"Moreover, we are often approached by stress, and such conditions will certainly hinder our effort to create a 'neighborhood' or a lush body," said Longbottom.
Many women who take yoga classes are tutored by this Longbottom after being recommended by the Reproductive Medicine Group in Tampa, Florida to help them cope with the stress of not getting pregnant or undergoing stress due to fertility treatments.
Longbottom can estimate if half of her yoga class participants were undergoing a fertility treatment.
"Yoga is not able to fix the problems in the uterus or the egg. But they can do is to help a person to undergo the process," said Dr. Betsy McCormick of Reproductive Medicine Group as reported by ABCNews.
Dr.. James Goldfarb, director of the division of infertility and in-vitro fertilization at the University Hospital Cleveland also allow patients to try alternative therapies such as yoga or acupuncture, as far as the patient feels better after a training session.
"I always tell patients that this method would not be so painful and we strongly encourage them to try any treatment that if it can relieve stress," he said.
The problem, though fertility treatments such as IVF has helped millions of women to get pregnant, Goldfarb admitted if at the same time, these women also experienced tremendous anxiety.
Various studies also confirm if women undergoing fertility programs such as IVF are more likely to develop stress and depression.
