- An overview of the trimesters
- The yogic approach to prenatal and postnatal care
- Food and lifestyle guidelines during the trimesters
- Specific tools used in yoga for each trimester and the contraindications
- Addressing associated emotional challenges of pregnancy and post-delivery
- Practices to enable a healthy pregnancy
- Q&A
