Brief Summary

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.
