Maybe. While yoga isn't a one-way ticket to motherhood, the practice can reduce your stress level. Since stress has been shown to interfere with getting pregnant, it makes sense that the calming effects of yoga could improve your chances of conceiving.

In one widely reported study of women who were grappling with infertility, those who took part in a stress-reduction program, which included yoga, were nearly three times more likely to get pregnant than those who did nothing to deal with stress.
Why does stress put a damper on conception? When you're under chronic stress, your brain shifts into survival mode and ratchets up production of stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine, while slowing production of sex hormones. The combination can upset your ovulation schedule, making it difficult to become pregnant. Of course, a little stress is normal, but if you constantly feel wired, it's time to tackle your stress head-on.

If you decide to try yoga, choose a gentle class, like Kripalu or basic Hatha, over a vigorous style, like Ashtanga or Bikram. A slow-paced yoga class can offer more time and space for slowing the breath and calming the mind.

If pregnancy woes are threatening to extinguish the embers of desire in your relationship, try partner yoga. Stretching alongside your mate can not only relax both of you but also create an intimate bond of touching and fun (beyond the bedroom), at a time when you need it most.
