<![CDATA[Background: the prevalence of pregnancy anxiety varies in the different trimesters of pregnancy with highlevels in the first and third trimesters. Anxiety in pregnancy is a strong predictor of poor birth processes andinfant outcomes.Methods: This study uses quantitative research with quasi experimental / quasi experimental approachesand one group design pre and post test design with group control. This research will use the HamiltonAnxiety Rating Scale (HARS) method.Results: There is a significant difference (p = 0.004 <?) the average level of anxiety in the control groupbefore (16.5 ± 0.80) and after observation (18.17 ± 1.03) this means that Yoga exercises can reduce anxietylevels in third trimester pregnant women. In the control group (n = 12) there was no negative rank anxietylevel which meant that there was no person with an anxiety level before greater than after. Furthermore, apositive rank indicates 10 which means there are 10 pregnant women with anxiety levels after being higherthan before or in other words there are 10 pregnant women who have increased anxiety in the third trimester.Conclusion: There is a significant difference (p = 0.004 <?) the average level of anxiety in the control groupbefore (16.5 ± 0.80) and after observation (18.17 ± 1.03), so it can be concluded that prenatal yoga reducesanxiety levels before and after treatment.]]>
