Abstract

Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries, including Indonesia. Elevated blood pressure during pregnancy, even mildly, can develop into serious complications if not optimally managed. Therefore, a non-pharmacological approach is needed that is safe, easy to implement, and appropriate for the context of primary health care. One potential intervention is prenatal yoga, a mind-body-based approach. This study aims to analyze the effect of prenatal yoga on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women at the TileY Health Center. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters who were selected purposively. The prenatal yoga intervention was implemented for four weeks, twice per week, and each session lasted 45 minutes. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured before and after the intervention using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after the prenatal yoga intervention (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that prenatal yoga is effective in helping control blood pressure in pregnant women. In conclusion, prenatal yoga significantly reduces blood pressure in pregnant women and has the potential to become a safe and applicable non-pharmacological antenatal care component in primary healthcare.
