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 flush out waste and toxins
