Chennai Corporation has introduced bi-weekly yoga sessions for pregnant women in the city to help them give birth without complications. The yoga sessions will be conducted at the 24-hour emergency obstetric care centres (EOCs) in each zone on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am till noon.
Officials said in the sessions, pregnant women would be taught breathing exercises and meditation techniques to reduce pain during childbirth.
In 2009, the corporation introduced yoga sessions for pregnant women at the EOC in Shenoy Nagar. The previous council had also initiated free yoga training programmes in several parks for morning walkers and also for corporation school students, drivers and faculty members of schools.
