Should you consider yoga to get pregnant? No, it hasn't been scientifically that yoga helps boost the chance for conception but many believe that yoga may help when you are trying to get pregnant because yoga helps you relax.

Stress has many adverse effects on us and so can it affect hormonal balance during ovulation. Dr. Alice Domar who is a researcher at Harvard Medical School studied women who had been trying to conceive a year or longer. 50% of the women in the study went through a 10 week "mind and body" program which included meditation, yoga, nutrition and exercise to change negative thought patterns. The remaining were in a control program which had none of the above mentioned activities. Dr. Domar found that 55% of women who were in the mind and body program became pregnant within 12 months versus only 20% of women from the control group became pregnant.

It appears quite logical that yoga has a positive influence on getting pregnant. Yoga may also be beneficial due to the fact that its practice improves muscle tone and relaxes the body overall.

Again, there may be no scientific data to prove that yoga improves your chance for pregnancy but what do you have to lose if you begin practicing yoga besides stress?
