Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Yoga Group
Participants are required to attend three assessment visits. During these assessments, participants will complete a questionnaire that will ask about their eating patterns, body image, sleep habits, and loneliness and have their height and weight measured. Participants are also required to attend 50-minute yoga classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1:25-2:15pm for 10 weeks. The overall time commitment for Yoga Group participants is 3 hours of assessments and 50-minute yoga classes 3X week for 10 weeks.
Yoga
The yoga classes will be adapted to all levels of experience, mobility, and body size. Specific breathing techniques and body positive language will be incorporated into a body-positive yoga training done by Ms. Lisa Diers, RDN, E-RYT, YACEP. Less focus will be placed on precision of the poses, instead focus will be on body feelings, except where physically dangerous. Thus, the overall focus will be on listening to one's own body. List of messages will be carefully designed to be related to eating and weight, but to not be directly discussed. Ms. Diers will travel to Delaware to lead the intervention training for yoga instructors prior to the study taking place.
Control Group
Participants will be required to attend three assessment visits. During these assessments, participants will complete a questionnaire that will ask about their eating patterns, health habits, body image, sleep habits and loneliness and have their height and weight measured. The overall time commitment for Control Group participants is 3 hours of assessments total.
