A study on the effect of Yoga Nidra on Anxiety in Pregnant Women of different Trimester

Aim: Women who are pregnant frequently experience stress, anxiety, and anger. All women must go through this era of their lives, and pregnancy requires physical, psychological, and social modifications to adjust to a new role. This study assessed the impact of Yoga Nidra on anxiety in women who were pregnant across various trimesters. Methods: Twenty women in varying trimesters were chosen and participated in a 21-day Yog Nidra session. The Sinha Comprehensive Anxiety Test (SCAT) anxiety scale was used to gather the data, and the T-test was used to analyse it. Results: The findings demonstrated a significant change in the pregnant women's anxiety levels before and after the intervention (t=4.440, p= 0.00). Conclusion: Yog Nidra influenced reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women irrespective of the trimester. It is expected that pregnant women use Yoga relaxation to decrease anxiety.
