“…Many YfP studies ( Deshpande et al, 2013;Satyapriya et al, 2013;Sun et al, 2010 ) have been carried out in developing countries where both the culture of childbirth and the practice of yoga are very different from western countries, making transferability of findings questionable. Most western yoga programmes comprise asanas (postures), Pranayama (breathing), Dhyana (meditation) and relaxation, but some authors ( Maharana et al, 2013;Rakhshani et al, 2015 ) argue that YfP is an integrated therapy which should also encompass lifestyle and nutritional guidance. This raises questions about how YfP achieves its putative effects and whether it is a holistic intervention, or whether individual elements can be isolated and utilised in other forms of antenatal education ( Curtis et al, 2012;Field, 2016 ).…”

Objective: To explore women's experience of attending yoga for pregnancy classes in order to generate a theory about which aspects, if any, are effective in enhancing self-efficacy for labour and birth. Design: A longitudinal grounded theory study. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with women before they started yoga for pregnancy classes, after they had attended at least six classes, and finally, postnatally. Interview transcripts were analysed using constructive grounded theory and a self-efficacy framework. Setting: Three yoga for pregnancy teachers' classes in England. Participants: Twenty two women attending yoga for pregnancy classes. Findings: Analysis of interviews with women at three time points led to a propositional theory that yoga for pregnancy enhances women's self-efficacy for labour by building their confidence and competence through a combination of techniques. These include repeated practice of a variety of pain management strategies, use of affirming language and the telling of positive labour stories, underpinned by yoga practice to lower somatic response to stress.

Introducción: La gestación y el parto son experiencias significativas, que dejan huella en cada mujer que realiza éste tránsito, por tanto, la aplicación de estrategias complementarias contribuye a un cuidado más humano. Objetivo: Describir las terapias complementarias que se pueden aplicar en forma efectiva y segura en mujeres gestantes, para contribuir a un mayor bienestar durante el embarazo y parto. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión integrativa de la literatura, en diferentes bases de datos: Science Direct, Medline, Scielo, Scopus y Ovid; en inglés, portugués y español, durante el segundo semestre de 2018 y primero del 2019. Resultados: Se analizaron diferentes terapias alternativas que se usan con mujeres gestantes: la masoterapia, hidroterapia, termoterapia, libertad de movimientos, uso de pelotas, visualización de imágenes, musicoterapia; las cuales dieron seguridad en su aplicación, con resultados benéficos en el binomio madre-hijo. Discusión: las terapias complementarias, son una oportunidad que tiene el profesional de enfermería para poder aplicarlas en los diferentes contextos en donde se cuida la gestante, si bien existe diversa literatura que señalan los beneficios tanto para la madre como para el feto, es necesario que los profesionales las reconozcan y pongan en práctica en los diferentes escenarios de cuidado. Conclusiones: El uso de las terapias complementarias, durante el embarazo y parto de bajo riesgo, son útiles para disminuir las diferentes molestias presentadas durante estas etapas y mejorar así la experiencia de gestar y parir.

Pregnancy is a unique phase in the life of a woman. This exciting and vulnerable time initiates many changes at a physical, psychological, and emotional level. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of integrated yogic practices on the quality of life among pregnant women. For this pilot study, we enrolled 20 pregnant women who were between 9 and 25 weeks at gestation. Single group pre-post design was used. An integrated yoga module specially developed for antenatal conditions was administered over a 12-week integrated yoga module to the participants. Quality of Life Scale was used as a tool of assessment. Data was collected at base and at the end of 12 weeks after the protocol was administered. Paired sample T-test was applied using SPSS software to analyze this data. Statistical analysis of the data collected, demonstrated that value of t test was 3.177 which was significant at 0.01 level The findings showed that yoga intervention was efficacious in improving the Quality of Life. No adverse effects of yoga were observed among those who practiced yoga during pregnancy. The results demonstrate that antenatal yoga may be an effective intervention to enhance quality of life. More rigorous studies over a longer duration with larger sample sizes would be required to establish a definitive connection between yoga intervention and quality of life among antenatal cohort.
