Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the academic and psycho-social benefits of a yoga-informed health and wellness program (HWP) to a standard physical education program for middle and high school students within New York City (NYC) schools.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Approximately 100 students at a public New York City High School will be randomized at the level of class into either the experimental (yoga-informed health and wellness program) or control arm (physical education class). Students will receive two classes per week of approximately 45 minutes throughout the academic year. Data will be collected in September 2014 and February and May of 2015.
