NCT ID: NCT03687450
Last Updated: 2020-07-23
Results Overview
Participants were ask to rate the feasibility of attending the yoga program on a visual analogue scale from 0 (not at all feasible) to 100 (very feasible). Only the intervention group rated feasibility since the control group was a waitlist control group and did not attend the program. The standard deviation of the mean score was calculated.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Post-programPopulation: Participants analyzed included those in the intervention group who completed any follow-up timepoint, including post-program and/or two-month follow-up. Since the waitlist control group did not attend the program, they were not asked to assess feasibility.
Participants were ask to rate the feasibility of attending the yoga program on a visual analogue scale from 0 (not at all feasible) to 100 (very feasible). Only the intervention group rated feasibility since the control group was a waitlist control group and did not attend the program. The standard deviation of the mean score was calculated.
