For fertility?   How the hell is lying on a mat and breathing supposed to help when you get pregnant when you're not even breaking a sweat? When every part of you feels like you need to be doing more, trying harder, pushing through?   That\u2019s exactly why I invited Jennifer Edmunds onto the Fertile Ground Podcast\u2014to flip the script on what the 5000 year old \ud83e\udd2f practice of yoga is really about. (dude that\u2019s SO old!)   When Jen was TTC, she used yoga \u2013  not as a means to an end \u2013 but as a way to slow down the urgency, come back to the power of her body, and\u2014shockingly\u2014to do less to create more.   She shares how yoga helps her and the women she works with, to regulate their nervous system, regulate their cycles, and get pregnant after loss and IVF.   My favorite part? She calls out the BS of pushing through the ebbs and flows of your monthly cycle like a goddamn man. Newsflash: You\u2019re not supposed to have energy all month long. She teaches you why honoring your body\u2019s cycles makes you more powerful\u2014not less.   She breaks down: \ud83e\udd30The numerous different diagnoses she had and eventually, still was able to create 2 beautiful children. \ud83e\uddd8\u200d\u2640\ufe0f Alternative ways to measure progress on your fertility journey that actually make you feel like you\u2019re killin\u2019 it. \u26a1\ufe0f Why more effort isn\u2019t always the answer (and how that mindset is draining you). \ud83d\udca5 How yoga teaches you to respond to pain instead of fear it. This episode is exactly what you need if you\u2019re sick of feeling like you\u2019re never doing enough.   Listen now \ud83c\udfa7   Let\u2019s disrupt the hustle.
