Effects of Yoga in High-Risk Pregnancy

By Dr R Nagarathna

Pregnancy and childbirth constitute significant events in the life of a woman. Advances in

science, technology, and management have offered many tools to obstetric practices.

Systematic implementation of these tools in antenatal health programs has saved many

lives with reduced maternal and infant mortality.1 However, they have not been able to

explain the root cause of pregnancy complications. As a result, the prevalence of many lifestyles and stress-related disorders of pregnancy is on the rise.2

Clearly, there is an urgent need for a holistic approach to the management of pregnancy

complications. Not only does a pregnant woman during this phase of her life require a great

deal of support from her family members, but she must also care for herself and follow a

healthy regime to ensure the experience is a rewarding one. The Vedic literature prescribes

one such time-tested regiment.
