Yoga for Women, Fertility, and Reproductive Health
What is Radiant Womb Yoga?
Radiant Womb Yoga restores balance, wellness, and health in the reproductive organs or womb space, both in the physical and energetic sense. In yogic terminology, this area of the body is called the second chakra, or sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana. In this tradition, the womb not only addresses fertility, reproduction, and sexuality on the physical plane, but also expresses our creative, emotional, relational, and sensual contact with the world.
These classes are designed to gently guide you on a journey into the womb space and second chakra through moon salutations, hip openers, and heart openers. Props are encouraged so, if possible, come prepared with pillows, blocks, bolsters, and blankets.
Why Radiant Womb Yoga?
As women, we have this life giving vessel called a Uterus that affects us in various ways throughout our life. Most of us are not taught to pay attention to our Uterus, or Womb, and may often feel shame or discomfort (physically and emotionally) for even having one. Some cultures say that if a woman’s uterus is out of balance, her life will be out of balanced. I know this to be true for me, and found that it takes care and presence to forge this inner connection.
I developed this practice through my own personal struggles with my womb and through working with woman one on one, practicing Mayan Abdominal Therapy Massage, which targets the reproductive organs and surrounding digestive organs. What I noticed is that all the woman I worked with had something in common—their nervous systems were extremely depleted, there was excess worry and anxiety in the body, and a sense of unrest was very present both in the body and in their minds.
As a yoga teacher and practitioner, I wanted to merge these two worlds, and create a practice specifically for women, in any stage of life, with uterus or not, that would ultimately create a positive vibration in her body so that she feels Radiant and Beautiful from the inside out.
