FHY SAVED MY SANITY AND I LET GO OF THE THINGS I COULDN’T CONTROL
Having a group of people to talk to, ask questions, listen to your weekly struggles and triumphs became essential for my sanity! It was a nice break to allow myself to open up to someone other than my husband.
The yoga was so relaxing and helpful to calm my nerves during the most anxious steps of the journey. I quickly realized that the more you put into the group, the more you got out of it. The more open and honest I was— the more people connected and became a true life-line for me.
I was able to offer support to others and that in itself provides so much internal comfort and strength. My journey had previously been very “medical.” There was no mention of my anxiety level, breathing, or my emotional and spiritual well-being.
That all changed when I began going to yoga I learned to breath. I learned to let go of things I couldn’t control. I learned to find something every day that I’m truly grateful for. Seeing the positive sides of things was incredibly powerful.
I also learned a lot about my body and self-care. I started to notice when I felt tense and I could use my “tool box” of yoga positions to release tension, calm my nerves and decrease my stress level. I’m able to handle daily stresses and stay calm with much more ease and that positively reflects on my family as well.

I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON FROM WHEN I JOINED FHY
The Fertile Hope Yoga program transformed me into a more positive and hopeful person. It allowed me to be more grateful and appreciative for everything, good and bad, in my life. I honestly feel like a completely different person from when I joined.
I definitely needed support and an outlet to release emotions but didn’t know where to go. I realized that the universe is in control of everything and being patient and persistent will pay off. Each class made me more hopeful, thankful and determined to reach my goal.
I now know that we also need to be thankful the hard times in our lives because they build character and form our life story. I’ve also learned to try new things when times get tough such as meditating, essential oils and acupuncture to help calm myself.

I WAS HOOKED AFTER THE FIRST CLASS
Before Fertile Hope Yoga, I felt lonely, lots of despair, and severely broken as a woman. After the first class, I was hooked. I had a tribe of women who gave me hope, challenged my limiting beliefs, and acknowledged my body was capable. A group of women who got me and only needed to give me a smile to acknowledge all will be well. They had my back and I had theirs.

I GAINED LIFELONG FRIENDS AND A COMMUNITY THAT FEELS LIKE FAMILY
If you’re feeling hesitant to join, you probably need it more than you realize. Before I found Fertile Hope Yoga, I found that I just wanted to retreat from all activities and social situations.
I felt alone, lost passion for the things I was once passionate about and I became very reclusive. I felt left behind. Yoga for fertility gave me the social and emotional support I needed so badly, but was in too much pain to seek out on my own.
I still use the yoga breathing when I have an anxiety attack or if I am feeling stressed. I also still consider the women I went through this journey with to be great and lifelong friends. The community became like a family to me.
