Fertile Yoga is a specially-designed gentle yoga practice created by Lisa Rosenthal, MA, RYT-500, offered free of charge at Illume Fertility. 

The ancient discipline of yoga is an excellent way to reduce the stress and muscle tension that fertility patients often feel. Fertile Yoga also helps to improve flexibility, encourage relaxation, improve the clarity of your thinking and your overall sense of wellbeing.

Because patients who practice yoga regularly feel less stressed and calmer, they are often able to communicate more clearly with their doctors, make more satisfying decisions, and sustain treatment with a more positive perspective.
