Ask GKU: Yoga/Fertility Books

[PepperPottsJ]

Other than TCOYF, and It Starts with the Egg, does anyone have any other favorite fertility books, particularly ones that incorporate Yoga? Amazon searching and reviews have narrowed down some choices, however I think my best course of action is to ask GKU

thank you for sharing any gems you may have!

what makes you love it? For a yoga novice, is it appropriate?

PepperPottsJ I'm glad you started this. I've been researching but need reviews!

I have been practicing yoga for 7 years but I stick to the very gentle classes so nothing crazy for me.  This book does all poses I am familiar with.  There are pictures to show each pose within a routine and then there are also pages that show the poses and explain exactly how you get into the pose, what the movement is like, and what the purpose is for doing it.  They have routines for each half of your cycle (pre-O and post-O) since apparently there are different things you want to focus on.  They have a "basic" routine and and "intermediate" routine for each half of your cycle.  They also have some other info if you are doing IVF.  They talk about other lifestyle changes you may be interested in such as exercise, nutrition, acupuncture, etc.  I am terrible at uploading pics but I may try to take a pic of two and upload them so you can see what I'm talking about.

Actually if you look through the book preview on Amazon you get a pretty good idea of what it looks like.

thanks! I looked at it on amazon after I saw someone get it in the 3T gift exchange.

That was me that got in the exchange  I had borrowed it from the library last year and took notes so I could try to keep up with it myself but it's so much easier when I have the book in front of me!
