Although the fertility benefits of yoga practice is not as big as in vitro fertilization or IVF procedures or hormone therapy, but Longbottom said if yoga can help women who want to conceive by encouraging them to be relaxed and calm because that's what it takes to make the process run smoothly fertilization. Yoga is also claimed to be the blood flow to the pelvic area.
