Yoga, a practice of thousands of years aimed at ensuring physical, mental and mental integrity wellness. A pregnancy yoga is a kind that has emerged to ease the pregnancy process.

Taking advantage of pregnancy yoga and so, being able to give an easy birth to her kid, Ayca Yılmaz states as follows: Pregnancy yoga is the best thing to do for the pregnant herself and her baby.
In response to the question "why?", she replies: "Being pregnant, the body gets heavy and its center of gravity changes. This puts a load on the spine. The pregnancies often suffer from the waist and back pain. Practising pregnancy yoga, you stretch your body and strengthen it. This also provides relief. Many people state that they experience this kind of relief just after the first session. "
Emotions pass to babies
Ayca Yilmaz, a trainer at the Annezen Center, explains the mental contributions of pregnancy yoga to the baby and the woman as follows: "The pregnancy period is often full of worries for women. The risk of having a miscarriage in the first few months and waiting for various tests and their results, then fear of giving a birth ... We suggest yoga to reduce all these worries and provide psychological comfort. This is very important for the baby. Because the research shows that the origin of psychological disorders in individuals has its roots in the mother's womb. In addition, the calmer and peaceful pregnancy a woman experiences, the calmer and peaceful she will be after giving a birth to a child. Whatever a woman eats during her pregnancy passes directly to her baby. It’s same for the emotions because every feeling passes to the baby through the hormones. "
Unity of Techniques
Ayca Yilmaz says that the recent trend in pregnancy yoga is to apply techniques together: "We have been applying different techniques recently. It's like handling the pregnancy yoga and birth preparation training together. The basis of the birth preparation trainings is based on this: 'If you learn to relax, you can do it at birth and the birth will be easier.' If you are afraid, your body is contracting, and you feel pain during birth. However, it is possible to give an easy birth by learning how to relax. We also teach many different relaxation, visualization, breathing techniques in the pregnancy yoga. And most importantly, we teach the mothers-to-be how to connect with their babies. With such techniques, we have a process of supporting both birth and motherhood. "
