Today, we wanted to talk about fertility yoga. We are VERY excited to announce that Dr. Robin Saraswati Markus is this year’s fertility yoga teacher at the San Diego Fertility Expo!!

She has created an integrative, holistic and amazing fertility yoga practice. We bet you are now as excited as we are!

Dao Flow is an emerging therapeutic method for women’s health that weaves Daoist thought and Chinese medicine with the ancient technology of Yoga. Dao Flow derives from The Dao (or Tao), the foremost philosophy of China. It is the intelligence that swirls around and through everything, that regulates nature and, with it, us human beings. We Flow in sequences that incorporate the dynamism of yang and surrender us to the stillness of yin, using mind, body and breath to fully inhabit the sacred presence of the moment. Further, activating the potent healing energies of acupuncture meridians through yoga asana and pranayam, Dao Flow balances the neuro-hormonal system and enlivens the endocrine glands. The body-mind becomes a nourishing container in which we purify, unwind, and heal, rather than a vehicle we drive to a forced destination.

Dao Flow was created by Dr. Saraswati Markus, an integrative, holistic gynecologist, doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine, and experienced yoga teacher who has contributed to the field of inner growth, spirituality and alternative (or complementary) medicine for more than 20 years.

Emptiness begets Oneness From Oneness yin and yang are born Primordial feminine and primordial masculine From yin and yang the three energies arise:   Earth, heaven, and all beings in between From the three come the 10,000 things

Saraswati says “We spend most of our time in the yang energy of pursuit, getting, doing– climbing to the top of the mountain in the most direct and efficient way. But let us acknowledge and honor the yin energy of being, of reflecting, of waiting for the opening, and finding the blind way to the valley where all nourishment gathers. This, too, is accomplishment.
