The study will investigate the effects of pregnancy yoga on perceived stress, quality of sexual life and sleep level. A total of 100 pregnant women are planned to be included in the study. Data will be collected with the "Personal Information Form", "Perceived Stress Scale" and "Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female". Yoga will be applied to the experimental group for a total of 12 sessions, two sessions per week (90 minutes) for six weeks. The research predicts that yoga will reduce the stress perceived by pregnant women, increase the quality of sexual life and positively affect sleep patterns.
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. The study will investigate the effects of pregnancy yoga on perceived stress, quality of sexual life and sleep level. A total of 100 pregnant women are planned to be included in the study.
