Detailed description

Although pregnancy is a natural process, the change in physiological and psychosocial balance and the differentiation of roles in life require bio-psychosocial adaptation for the pregnant woman and her environment. In addition to strengthening the uterine and perineal muscles and supporting the spine, yoga is effective in dealing with common problems of pregnancy such as poor blood circulation, blood pressure fluctuations, excessive weight gain, fatigue, edema and urinary problems.
