Bachelor's thesis

Yoga during pregnancy

Abstract:

The subject of my bachelor's thesis is the characterization of yoga during pregnancy, emphasizing the effects, which practicing yoga during pregnancy produces. Yoga during gravidity has positive effects on body, mind and a well-being of women. Yoga for pregnant women also serves an instrument for mindful perception of their own body and preparation for childbirth. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part describes the basic yoga characteristics, importance of exercising during pregnancy, characteristics of yoga during pregnancy and the influence of yoga on pregnant woman's body. Practical part consists of conducting a research on how yoga acts on women, who had decided to start practicing yoga during pregnancy, without prior experience. Another objective of the study was the detection of the effects of exercise on bodily and spiritual condition during gravidity. The aim of my work was to make an educational exercise program titled "The Introduction to yoga in pregnancy" which described the basis of pregnancy yoga. The subjects learned a compensational yoga sequence, which was designed with guidance of a professional yoga lector. The sequence of poses was focused on gaining and retaining optimal health and general comfort during pregnancy. The results from a survey suggest that the respondents were able to practice yoga at home by themselves and were enthusiastic about it. Many health problems the subjects had prior to practicing yoga were eliminated or improved by following a specific exercise suggestions designed according to the health problem. Women were motivated by the possibility of having a peaceful pregnancy and a conscious preparation for childbirth.

Abstract:

Obsahom mojej bakalárskej práce je charakteristika jogy v tehotenstve a vyzdvihnutie účinkov, ktoré praktizovanie jogy v tehotenstve prináša. Joga má v tehotenstve pozitívny vplyv na telo tehotných žien, ich myseľ a psychickú pohodu. Navyše slúži ako nástroj pre vnímanie vlastného tela a pripravuje ho na pôrod. Práca je rozdelená na teoretickú a praktickú časť.Teoretická časť obsahuje základnú charakteristiku jogy, dôležitosť cvičenia počas tehotenstva, charakteristiku jogy v tehotenstve a popisu vplyvu jogy na telo tehotnej ženy. Praktická časť sa zaoberá skúmaním ako joga pôsobí na ženy, ktoré nikdy pred tým jogu necvičili a rozhodli sa pre ňu v tehotenstve. Ďalej bolo predmetom výskumu zisťovanie účinku cvičenia na ich telesnú a duševnú kondíciu. Cieľom mojej práce bolo vytvorenie edukačného cvičebného programu s názvom Úvod do tehotenskej jogy. Obsahoval základy cvičenia jogy pre začiatočníčky. Tehotné ženy sa naučili kompenzačnú zostavu, ktorá bola vytvorená za odbornej pomoci lektorky jogy. Zostava mala pomôcť nadobudnúť a udržať optimálne zdravie a celkovú pohodu počas tehotenstva. Z výsledkov vyplýva, že respondentky boli schopné a chceli praktizovať a cvičiť jogu aj v domácom prostredí. Pomocou získaných vedomostí na spoločných cvičeniach a dodržiavaním určitých zásad, dosiahli zlepšenie popisovaných problémov, ktoré mali pred cvičením. Motivovala ich možnosť prežiť harmonické tehotenstvo a vedome sa pripraviť na pôrod.
