Yoga Workshop for Fertility & Loss

Class Description:

Reclaiming your power. Fertility treatments and pregnancy loss can erode us of our confidence, connection to self, trust in body and personal power. This workshop will honor the emotions of the powerlessness felt and help you reclaim a sense of confidence and energy to help you move forward. Movements will focus on big, chest-opening postures and strong standing postures to help you reclaim you inner warrior. Mindfulness practices and body attunement cues will help you reconnect to your inner thoughts, feelings and body sensations. Meditations and affirmations will center around the Solar Plexus chakra, the seat of our self esteem and confidence. Class will end with a guided meditation, reading from Journey to the Heart and a cool lavender towel. This Workshop includes a trauma-informed yoga sequence and therapeutic process discussion on how to cope with the uncertainty and loss of control while Trying to Conceive. Increase connection to your body, reduce stress and tension in your body, and practice yogic movements to promote fertility. All ages and experience levels are welcome.
