Fertile Yoga.
Dr. Mark Leondires, Medical Director of Reproductive Medicine Associates of CT, and I were interviewed last week, along with one of our fabulous patients, Michelle, and the segment aired earlier this week. View the entire segment as well as the written part:
It was all about Fertile Yoga and RMACT's Integrated Fertility and Wellness Program.
Thank you to Michelle for sharing your beautiful story and presence with us, both in class and for the filming of this segment!
Fertile Yoga was created three years ago when I realized that there was no program specifically for men and women in fertility treatment.
Yoga is now the hot thing for fertility. We've been offering it to the public in Fairfield County, free of charge, for close to three years.
How wonderful to have the light, literally, shone on this program that can offer so much hope and relief to women and men who are in the midst of treatment.
Having experienced infertility and fertility treatment and having spent all of my adult life working with and for patients struggling with infertility, I am tremendously grateful to be able to share Fertile Yoga and have it seen in a bigger way.
I don't quite know how to talk about Fertile Yoga without sounding like I'm bragging. It's probably the piece of my week that allows me to speak most sincerely from my heart. While I'm proud of having created it and nurtured it (HUGE thank you to Reproductive Medicine Associates of CT for having the vision to financially support it!), I am also most humble to the patients that become my students.
Fertile Yoga was created for them and for you. It is my honor and privilage to share it with you.
