You probably haven't thought too much about your yoga mat and how it might be affecting your fertility. But I think you should.

Yes - I want you to come to fertility yoga, but I also want to make sure that when you're coming to the mat to support your fertility, it isn't also silently messing with your hormones.

In this episode I cover:

• why it's important to know what your yoga mat is made from
• why it's hard to avoid toxins
• the main offenders in yoga mats
• removing toxins will remove some burden from the body so it can concern itself about reproduction and not trying to remove toxins
• my recommendation for mats (so you don't have to do the research)
• greenwashing and yoga
