5-Week Series with Nicole Blackwood

Tuesday, Oct 22 – Nov 19

7:00pm (75 min)

In Studio & Online

Nourishment is not just from the food you put in your mouth but how you holistically tend to your body, mind, and heart so you can navigate your fertility path from a place that is well resourced.

Fertility challenges draw from your inner resource reserve. It consumes your mental bandwidth and can leave you continually seeking for the next thing that can support you towards growing your family. Living from this place isn’t sustainable and can lead to overwhelm and burnout. In replenishing your inner reserves you can continue to do the hard things that are being asked of you right now, but from a place that is better resourced instead of depleted.

In this five week series, you will nourish your nervous system and coax it back to a place of balance. You will practice embracing support, starting with landing in your body in restorative yoga postures. Soft and gentle yoga postures will help you release muscular tension with an emphasis on the pelvis and spine. 

This class is very gentle and appropriate for all levels of fitness and experience as well as any point in a natural or medicated fertility process. In the event you do become pregnant during this program, it is also suitable during the first trimester of pregnancy.

The first four classes will consist of a yoga asana practice, pranayama utilizing your breath, and guided awareness practices. The last class will be taught online only and will be a Q/A session to review anything we practiced over the previous four weeks followed by a guided awareness practice and time for reflection and journaling if desired.

This series is designed to support those who are trying to grow their family, whether you have been trying to conceive for a while, just starting out, or exploring other avenues to bring a child into your life. Nicole will hold space for the hope and uncertainty this journey brings while helping you prepare your body, mind, and heart for the journey ahead.

Taught in person at Embody (first four classes) or online from anywhere. Recordings of the classes will be available with access through the end of December.
