The purpose of this study is to test whether a program called "Mindful Moms" can be helpful for specific measures of mood and health in pregnant women with depressive symptoms, compared to group-based education workshops.

The Mindful Moms Study is a randomized controlled trial, in which participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to either the "Mindful Moms" group (12 weeks of group-based prenatal yoga) or the "Prenatal Education Circle" group (12 weeks of group-based prenatal education). 200 pregnant women will participate over the course of the study.
