Abstract

Background Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is the main indicator for assessing the success of maternal health programs because of its sensitivity to improving health services, both in terms of accessibility and quality. Acceleration in reducing MMR can be achieved by improving health services for pregnant women in prenatal yoga classes which have the benefit of improving maternal health, both physical, mental and emotional.

Data were collected using a questionnaire list, then the data was processed using the Chi Square test.
