Using fertility yoga to help navigate stress on your fertility journey

This week's topic is around stress and infertility and is one that I know will resonate with most, if not all of you. Emily sits down with Jennifer Edmonds, a yoga, pilates and meditation teacher who specialises in fertility and women's health.

We talk about the impact stress and trauma on your fertility, the power of fertility yoga and breathwork, as well as tools to support yourself through stressful times whilst releasing the pressure to be 'stress free' and do things perfectly.

2:22 - Jen's fertility journey

13:00 - Jen's take on stress and infertility

21:49 - Tools for supporting yourself through the stress and infertility

23:19 - Trauma and infertility and ways to navigate this

34:00 - Yoga as a way to connect to and trust your body again

39:00 - Jen's key takeways

If you've ever felt your blood boil when someone has informed you that 'stressing makes things worse and you just need to relax,' then I hope that this episode will be a soft landing with some real and achievable ways to support yourself.
