Yoga for Fertility Kicks Off (In-Person!) at AFCC
At Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago (AFCC), we recently had the pleasure of hosting two in-person Yoga for Fertility kick-off sessions in collaboration with the holistic fertility care experts from Pulling Down the Moon. These special events gave attendees a chance to experience the original Yoga for Fertility program, connect with others on their fertility journey, and engage in an informative Q&A with our reproductive endocrinologists.
Supporting National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW)
These events were held during National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW), a crucial time dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding infertility, providing education, and fostering community support. By offering these Yoga for Fertility sessions, we aimed to create a safe and welcoming space for individuals to focus on their well-being while navigating their fertility journey.
NIAW is about empowering those affected by infertility and ensuring they have access to resources that promote emotional and physical health. Yoga has been shown to reduce anxiety and enhance relaxation, making it a valuable tool for those undergoing fertility treatments. We are proud to have supported NIAW through these events and remain committed to providing holistic fertility care.
