Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This group will have in-person, 60 minute yoga sessions three times per week for 12 weeks. These sessions will also include a sharing circle to provide group feedback as to how the practice felt and integration into ones' daily life. There will be biweekly themes established for these sessions (i.e. common yoga poses, importance of breath) and biweekly in-person workshops will be offered. These will be specialty classes for participants to experience additional exposure to meditation and breathing. They will be a longer format so participants can delve deeper into yogic philosophy and practice. There will also be a private Facebook group for participants to connect with each other and for the research staff to maintain contact and share information with the participants (eg. weekly reminder for yoga sessions and workshops).
