A Prenatal Yoga Survey by Mylo, a platform for new and expecting mothers, revealed that only 7 per cent of the mothers actually practiced prenatal or postnatal yoga. The survey conducted amongst 6,000 expecting and new moms also outlined the benefits and practice of prenatal and postnatal yoga, and how many mothers actually adopt yoga as a lifestyle in the long run.

Ninety-one per cent of expecting moms agreed that exercise is healthy during pregnancy; with 85 per cent believe that yoga is beneficial both during pregnancy and after childbirth. Moms confirm that lack of time (50 per cent), followed by lack of awareness of pregnancy yoga asanas (30 per cent) and the fear that prenatal yoga might be harmful to the baby (26 per cent) are the key barriers to practicing yoga.
