BEHAVIORAL

Yoga Intervention

There are studies that have evaluated the effects of prenatal yoga on sleep. None of these studies have reported any negative effects of yoga on pregnancy. In all studies, yoga practice was applied with varying frequencies, durations, and techniques. However, no research has been found that evaluates the effects of a yoga program conducted in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline recommendations on both sleep and stress. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of yoga, practiced during the third trimester of pregnancy in line with WHO guideline recommendations, on sleep and stress.
