During pregnancy, a woman must be able to adapt to various physical changes that often occur and can cause uncomfortable conditions, such as back pain which begins to be felt in the second and third trimesters. If this condition is not treated immediately, it can cause anxiety and disruption to the pregnant woman's activities. As a way to reduce complaints of back pain, pregnant women can do prenatal gentle yoga exercises. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of prenatal yoga in reducing pain in the lower back of pregnant women at the Ngletih Community Health Center, Kediri City. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of prenatal yoga in reducing pain in the lower back of pregnant women at the Ngletih Community Health Center, Kediri City. Research method: This research adopted a quantitative design with a Pre-Experimental design, using the One Group Pretest-Posttest method. The sample of pregnant women in the second and third trimesters was 31 respondents. The sampling method involved Total Sampling and the use of a pain level measuring tool with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), while data analysis used the Wilcoxon Test. Research Results: Before carrying out prenatal yoga exercises, the majority of pregnant women felt lower back pain on a mild scale, the number of respondents was 17 (54.8%). After doing prenatal yoga exercises twice in 2 weeks, the majority of pregnant women no longer felt back pain, the number of respondents was 18 pregnant women (58%). The p-value of the analysis using the Wilcoxon test is 0.000.

Pregnancy is a physiological process and can be pathologically risky if there are changes in blood pressure and DJJ. Therefore, to maintain stable blood pressure or DJJ, prenatal yoga is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on blood pressure and DJJ. This research method is a quasi-experimental design using a one group pretest posttest design. Sampling of 50 respondents, using an observation sheet. The results of the study showed that the majority were aged 20-35 years as many as 43 respondents (86.0%), the majority of multigravida parity as many as 42 respondents (84.0%). Analysis of the average blood pressure pre-test 91.430 and post-test 84.810. In DJJ, the average pre-test was 144.48 and post-test 135.54, before being given prenatal yoga intervention showed MAP in the pre-hypertension category and DJJ in the normal category, then after being given intervention showed MAP and DJJ in the normal category. The conclusion of the statistical test using the paired sample t test obtained a MAP P-Value of 0.000 or P-Value ? 0.05 and for DJJ P-Value 0.000 or P-Value ? 0.05, namely Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected, which means that there is an effect of prenatal yoga on Blood Pressure and DJJ. Suggestions for further researchers to be able to add variables by involving her husband.

Childbirth is a series of physiological processes that will allow some major changes in a mother to be able to give birth to her baby through the birth canal. The occurrence of perineal stiffness can actually be prepared for and anticipated, starting in early pregnancy. Preparations that can be made include doing physical exercises such as pregnant yoga. Prenatal yoga is very useful for pregnant women, especially to overcome complaints during pregnancy, reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and prepare physically for the labor process by training pelvic floor muscles to be stronger and more elastic so as to facilitate labor. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of prenatal gentle yoga on the incidence of perineal lacerations in maternity mothers in the working area of the Ngletih Health Center, Kediri Regency, in 2024. In this study, we used the quasi-experimental research method with a post-test control design. The sample used in this study was mothers who gave birth from January to April 2024, which was distinguished between the control group and the treatment group. The results of the study obtained were the influence of pregnant yoga on the incidence of perineal lacerations in maternity women, with ρ values of 0.000 < α 0.05 and significant differences in lacerations of degrees 1 and 3. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that pregnant yoga is very effective in preparing the elasticity of the perineal muscles so that it can help prevent the rupture of the delivery process.
