Prenatal yoga practice in late pregnancy and patterning of change in optimism, power, and well-being
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore changes in human-environmental field patterning of optimism, power, and well-being over time, in women during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy upon completion of a 6-week prenatal yoga program. A descriptive design was used to answer research questions developed according to the Science of Unitary Human Beings theoretical framework: (1) what are the changes in patterning, as observed through the manifestation of optimism, power, and well-being over time, in women before beginning and upon completing a 6-week prenatal yoga program during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and (2) does change in patterning, as observed through the manifestations of optimism, power, and well-being over time, differ for women beginning yoga classes in the third trimester from women who begin classes in the second trimester of pregnancy?
