Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Regular physical activity and resistance training are recommended to support improved survivorship. To date, few efforts have targeted African American survivors who may experience greater survivorship challenges than Caucasians.
Yoga is a safe and effective means for breast cancer survivors to exercise and gain positive physical and psychosocial outcomes. Only two studies, 10 years apart, have provided evidence about the efficacy of yoga for African American breast cancer survivors.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Occupational therapy informed yoga
Occupational therapists adapted postures to meet the abilities and rehabilitation needs of individual breast cancer survivors engaging in group-delivered yoga sessions
Occupational Therapy Informed Yoga
Occupational therapy informed yoga met weekly for six, 60-minute sessions. Each session started with a seated warm-up to coordinate breath and movement and promote upper extremity mobility. Standing postures followed to target balance. Sessions closed with restorative postures in seated and supine variations.
