Yoga exercise will restore the strength of the pelvic floor muscles, tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall and perineum, and stimulate the contractions of the uterus. This research aims to determine the efficacy of yoga exercises on the involution of the uterus. Quasi-experimental design is used in this research with the approach of the pre-post test control design. Univariate results from uterine involution could be obtained at the latest 6 days and at the most 14 days. Bivariate analysis with correlation test and independent T test has obtained the following results: mother's age, r value = 0.277 and P value = 0.032, labor duration r = 0.351 and P value = 0.006. The mothers who did the yoga exercise had an average uterine involution of 8.97 days while those who did not do yoga exercise had the average uterine involution of TFU 13.70 days with P value of 0.0005. The final results of multivariate was further examined using multiple linear regression test resulting in β coefficient of 4.8 with P value of 0.0005 and the coefficient of determination (R square) showing the value of 0.82 and beta value of 0.922. Conclusion: The uterine involution of the mothers who did pregnancy exercise is faster on average by 4.8 days after the age and length of labor variables are controlled. The exercise variable indicates beta value of 0.922, which means that the variable that has the greatest influence on uterine involution is yoga exercises
