I really appreciate this site and refer to it often to search for tips on poses and techniques! I have been practicing yoga for 5 years and hot yoga for about 6 months, and love the results and the routine it provides me.
Upon searches here (and on google) most yoga + fertility results talk about women and pregnancy.
As a male who practices 3-4 times a week I want to know if my practice will decrease (or prevent!) the liklyhood of conception.
Many sites have said that males sitting in extreme heats (such as a hot tub/sauna) may decrease the chance of conception.
Anyone have any input? Any males in this situation?
Thanks!
Hi Eli
I would be interested to find out what others have experienced. There are certainly a lot of Dads who are hot yoga students. 😉
In my experience women have had some great experiences with regulating hormonal systems and some have become mothers after being led to believe it was not possible.
Still I have not to date heard any scientific evidence to support or deny your hot yoga query.
Sitting in a hot tub, or even a sauna would put intense heat more in the proximity of your gonads with limited ability to cool down. I am positive that you have more capacity to modulate your temperature in the hot room with the movement and the sweat when you are in a hot room. What resonates with you? Is it something that you are seeking reassurance on and need to know you are doing the right thing by continuing your yoga practice?
I don’t have personal experience in this area. 😉 I hope someone pops by to shed some more light on the subject.
I just did a search on ‘bikram yoga sperm count’ and guess what came up first in the search engines: MY WEBSITE :cheese: Check out this forum posting Getting Pregnant. I hope that helps.
Namaste
