Throughout pregnancy, the expectant mother experiences physiological and psychological alterations. These modifications can significantly affect the mother's many pregnancy complications, including respiratory difficulties, lumbar discomfort, haemorrhoids, and sleep disruptions. Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is a musculoskeletal ailment that can negatively impact the overall well-being of pregnant women. Failure to promptly address the complaint might have detrimental effects on both the mother and the fetus. Objective: This scoping review seeks to examine the effects of prenatal yoga on the occurrence of back pain and the quality of sleep in pregnant women. Methods: This article conducted a scoping review using the PRISMA approach. Articles published in the last five years (2019-2023) were identified through various sources, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Journal SAGE, Scopus, Science Direct, and EBSCO. This search yielded ten relevant journals. Findings: Our examination revealed that engaging in prenatal yoga during pregnancy can help pregnant women reduce back pain and improve the quality of their sleep. Conclusion: prenatal yoga is a non-pharmacological therapeutic option for pregnant women to alleviate back discomfort and enhance sleep quality.
