Exercises for your cycle, your fertility, your hormones

The Aviva Method is a structured exercise system designed to support fertility and hormonal balance through targeted, whole-body movement with a specific focus on the pelvic area. The exercise sequence aims to influence pelvic blood circulation and nervous system balance, supporting bodily functions connected to reproductive and hormonal health.

Some women choose to practice the Aviva Method while preparing their body for fertility treatment, using it as gentle, regular movement alongside medical care as part of their overall wellbeing routine.

The Aviva Method uses whole-body movement with a specific focus on the pelvic area, supporting the female cycle as a whole. It is suggested as a complementary exercise practice for women experiencing irregular cycles or cycle-related discomfort.

The Aviva Method is not a substitute for medical evaluation or treatment for menstrual or hormonal concerns.

The Aviva Method is suitable for women in their fertile years and is often practiced to support fertility, period-related concerns, and the transition through perimenopause. Due to its whole-body, fascia-focused movement style, it is also commonly practiced beyond menopause as a supportive form of exercise and general wellbeing.

The method’s emphasis on pelvic involvement within whole-body movement may also be relevant for men, particularly those who spend long periods sitting, where pelvic circulation can be reduced.
