Dear Brenda and everyone at Strong Yoga^®4Fertility,

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 14 months.  After four rounds of Clomid, and the suggestion from my gynecologist that a referral to a specialist would probably be necessary, we both had begun to feel the effects of our stress, fear and disappointment.  I knew something had to change.  While I still wanted to do everything I could to have a child, those negative feelings could not continue to play such a predominant role in how I felt about “my journey” toward having a child.

I stumbled on to your website, and was immediately touched and moved nearly to tears (in a good way!) when reading your blogs.  They just seemed to speak to me.  Here was the quiet faith, the stress-free celebration of love and life, the reminder to breathe, that I sought.   It was as though everything I wanted to think and believe was right there in those blogs.  Your mother’s story about the yo-yo; the notion of embracing the journey you ARE ON, rather than lamenting the one you think you should be on…this outlook both soothed and inspired me.

I had recently begun incorporating yoga into my exercise routine, and decided to purchase your DVD, as well as your Fertility Acupressure Balls.  I always feel wonderful after the DVD – the workout is easy to follow and understand.  I noticed an improvement in my flexibility very quickly, and the sense of relaxation is invaluable, and stays with me long after I leave my mat.  The Acupressure exercises are so different and intriguing.  I try to “breathe into” them and pay attention to anything I feel.

I found your website a little over a month ago.  I think my husband and I must have found a perfect crossroads of attitude, mind, spirit and body.  I am still halfway in shock, so it is a strange and wonderful thrill to type these words:  I am pregnant.

Brenda, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!!  And good luck to anyone reading this.  Brenda’s yoga is well worth it – pregnancy or no.  Finding the calm, quiet faith and letting go of the frantic desperation that can come in the world of “TTC” was a blessing I will always remember and carry with me.

Many blessings and much love to you, Brenda, and everyone at  Strong Yoga^®4Fertility.

Namaste,

Stacey
