This workshop will provide information and tools to women who are interested in preparing themselves for pregnancy, who have been struggling with fertility, and those who are finding themselves affected physically, emotionally and spiritually by the twists and turns their quest for pregnancy has presented. This introductory class will leave you with a daily 10-15 minute yoga practice designed to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, and balance the endocrine system. We will also explore other tools to reduce stress including breathing techniques, managing thoughts through awareness techniques and self inquiry, and ways to find appreciation and gratitude in the present.
This workshop will be co-presented by Judy O'Leary-Thapa of Absolute Yoga and Eileen DePaula of Root & Branch Oriental Medicine. The cost is $30 earlybird by 9/23 and $35 after. Pre-registration is required.
