The program, being held at The Willow Yoga Studio in Midhurst, is the first of its kind in the area.

"I haven't heard of any of these classes happening in Ontario," Balfour said. "The class is open to women who are open to conceiving. It's tailored to the parts of the body that deal with fertility."

The classes aim to increase fertility through the use of yogic postures, deep breathing and meditation.

"A lot of women don't like to talk about fertility issues," Balfour said. "This is a place where you can come be with other women, relax, let go of the past issues and look to the future."

Balfour also teaches therapeutic, pre-natal and post-natal yoga classes in Barrie.

There are only eight spots available for the fertility class, which runs May 13 through June 17.

"We want to keep is small so it's a more intimate experience," Balfour said. "It's a very nurturing environment where we can all support one another."

The cost is $90 for six weeks.
