This paper addresses the following points for a pregnant woman in her 2nd trimester:

• Undertake basic research into the nature of the condition
• Describe the various physical, mental/emotional and subtle systems effected
• Describe some of the more common treatments currently employed to assist with the condition
• Describe how you may need to network with other health care practitioners
• Outline your priorities for the Yoga based program you will develop
• Outline how you will assess the student/client
• Detail the first program you will provide, along with your rationale (and assumptions that guide your decisions)
• A basic outline of how you envisage the program developing as the student/client proceeds.

This paper assumes the asanas are performed by a healthy pregnant woman (the student) in her 2nd trimester with some experience with Yoga.
