| Abstract: | The article focuses on the benefits of yoga exercises for pregnant women. Researchers compared pregnant women who took a yoga class every day with pregnant women who walked for exercise every day. The women who did yoga were half as likely to give birth prematurely and had lower emergency cesarean section rates than those who walked. Pregnant women who took yoga also had lower blood pressure and better fetal growth rates. |
