Yoga originated in India more than 5000 years ago. The word yoga means “union” or connection of the mind and body. The practice of yoga, which involves breathing techniques and special poses, is designed to create physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance. Although yoga is an ancient practice, modern science is discovering its power to reduce stress and increase well being.
Yoga for fertility focuses on the centres of the body or “chakras” associated with fertility and reproduction. In particular it uses specially designed yoga poses that open the pelvis and stimulate the second chakra located just below the naval. This vital centre has long been associated with fertility and creativity.

It is with pleasure that I introduce to you Paul Tukey, the founder of SafeLawns.org and the executive producer of A Chemical Reaction.

This is a truly important issue which only you as an individual can help solve by making an educated choice and by teaching those closest to you. Paul will now tell you about the Chemical Reaction – the story you need to hear:

Stress and infertility do not mix. We know that. The difficult part, however, is to figure out how best to remove it from the equation. For the most part, stress is not addressed in conjunction with fertility treatments and procedures. Most fertility specialists are now coming to terms with the fact that they need to start addressing this issue in a more direct manner. And we know that everyone experiences some level of stress; but the stress inherent in the TTC process can be truly overwhelming.
