Sadness is an emotion which can be all too familiar on this yo-yo journey to conceive our baby. It’s important to grieve in order to heal, but when we hold on to sadness for too long it can become all consuming and stop us from moving on. So how can yoga help? When we get on the mat, move our bodies and follow our breath it helps us to connect with ourselves which is what we need most when we are healing. Heart opening poses like backbends help us to release tightness in our chest and allows us to feel lighter, happier and calmer.
