Fitness fanatics, rejoice! Because we’re here to tell you that there ARE ways to exercise safely throughout your fertility journey. Joining us is Lauren Blandin, a professional ballet dancer turned yoga instructor, medical massage therapist, and registered nurse, but to the community of women that she serves in New York City, she is fondly known as The Fertility Yoga Nurse.
