CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - We often hear about the health benefits of yoga, and now there's word it may also help women conceive.

In one of the largest controlled studies to date, the Fertility Centers of Illinois and Pulling Down the Moon analyzed the impact of yoga on anxiety in fertility patients.
