I just read a post called Strike a Pose on the Stress Free Infertility Blog and she's got some nice pictures with links to step by step instructions for each yoga position. She even says what each pose can do for your body! (I'm especially a fan of the bridge pose, which apparently stimulates hormones.) The post lists six stances to help relax, rejuvenate, and stimulate important muscle groups.
If you're new to yoga or just want a good plain stretch, you could always try a couple of my favorites that she doesn't mention- the downward facing dog or the extremely simple and effective cow pose to cat pose combo stretch. Mmm, I can feel my back muscles relaxing just thinking about it!

Skeptical about the benefits of yoga for TTC women and men? Bend Breathe and Conceive also posted a scientific review on how chronic stress can interrupt fertility. According to the research quoted, it seems like one of the best things you can do to boost your fertility is to stop worrying and take your mind off it!
So, today's message? Stretch, relax, and try out a few of those poses!
