Six-Week Yoga for Fertility Class
There are many kinds of yoga and not all yoga is appropriate for fertility. Pulling Down the Moon’s six week Yoga for Fertility program was designed by yoga teachers, former fertility patients and current moms Tami Quinn and Beth Heller to meet the needs of women who are trying to conceive. The program has been offered to hundreds of women in Chicago over the last four years, and data from on-going follow-up surveys show that nearly 75% of women who take the fertility yoga program report becoming pregnant within six months of class.
This truly unique Yoga for Fertility class teaches a posture practice designed to create physical and energetic balance in the reproductive system, to relieve depression and anxiety and to help women reconnect with their physical body. In addition, techniques for breathing, stress reduction and meditation are explored with the intention of preparing the body for new life. Our classes are guided by the yogic archetype of the “Sacred Feminine” and empower women to use this challenging time not only to become mothers, but to become fertile and powerful in all areas of their life.

What women say about PDtM yoga:
Hi everyone! I have been doing meditation every day during this fresh IVF cycle. It is hard! I am excited about today and praying for our babies to come home. I had a wonderful time in the Yoga class this summer. It really was one of the most influential experiences of my life.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, time, stories and compassion. Besides being so much more accepting of my fertility journey, I truly feel that there has been a shift in my life view overall. I know this growth has strengthened me as a person and will therefore strengthen me as a parent when the time comes.
I want to send you a huge ‘Thank You” for all the work you did with me. The Yoga for Fertility classes turned me from a complete emotional wreck to someone who could finally make the decision to go for a donor. Thanks again. It worked!
I really miss the yoga class…I truly believe the combo of yoga, acupuncture, TCM and Western medicine helped us to have our miracle!
My experience with PDtM has been so helpful. Acupuncture with Jeanie and Nicole, yoga with Jenny and mind/body class with Dr. Fox have been excellent for me. I haven’t conceived, nor am I at peace with my situation (yet!) I continually draw upon the tools I’ve learned at PDtM to help me heal and find peace. Thank you for providing a healthy environment where I fit in and people understand. Finding PDtM has been invaluable!
During the fertility process I don’t know that I was more relaxed than during the yoga class. Thanks!
