In this course, Kevin shares 6 self-care and qigong practices which support varying stages of a fertility journey. These gentle exercises are safe for the body and calming for the mind. By working with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (known as the microcosmic orbit in Chinese medicine), hormones like progesterone, estrogen, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, cortisol, oxytocin are regulated, which helps:
Reduce stress through nervous system regulation Balance hormones for peak fertility and mood Mobilize joints to facilitate optimal circulation Improve lymphatic flow to help remove waste and toxins
