  The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week prenatal yoga invtervention on reducing postpartum depression in primiparous women compared to routine prenatal care. Measured by PDPI-R.The Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised (PDPI-R) was developed to identify women at high risk for postpartum depression (PPD). It consists of two versions: the prenatal version and the postpartum/full version. The prenatal version is administered during pregnancy (third trimester) and consists of 32 items assessing 10 risk factors. The postpartum/full version, administered during the postpartum period, includes a total of 39 items by adding three risk factors specific to the postpartum period (7 items) to the factors included in the prenatal version (32 items).The total score of the prenatal version ranges from 0 to 32, while the total score of the postpartum/full version ranges from 0 to 39. Higher scores indicate a higher risk for PPD.
