Brief Summary:
This NICHD-funded RCT will enroll up to 178 depressed pregnant women, randomly assigning them to one of 2 intervention conditions: (1) a gentle prenatal yoga program (PYP), or (2) a series of educational workshops focused on perinatal health, the Mom and Baby Wellness Workshop (MBWW), each condition lasting 9 weeks. The investigators will clinically monitor all participants in the study for safety and clinical deterioration, and measure a variety of symptom outcomes over the course of the intervention period during pregnancy, as well as at a postpartum follow-up.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pregnancy Behavioral: Prenatal Yoga Behavioral: Mother Baby Wellness Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
In this randomized controlled trial, eligible women will be randomly assigned to either a 9-week Prenatal Yoga Program (PYP) vs. a 9-week health education control group, the Mother-Baby Wellness Workshop (MBWW). Follow up assessments will take place at multiple points during the study. The primary study outcome will be severity of prenatal depression assessed by a blind interviewer. The investigators will examine relevant secondary outcomes (self-reported depression, anxiety, functioning, & pain; pre-term birth) and potential mediators (inflammation, mindfulness/non-judgment).
