Detailed Description

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

Participants will be assigned to immediately begin a 12-week yoga class (2 classes per week for 75 minutes each) or complete a 12-week wait (wait-list control). The measures of interest will be examined at pretest (wait-list only), baseline, posttest and at 3-month follow-up to see what, if any, changes are maintained after completion of the program. All assessment data collections sessions will be conducted on-site at a predetermined site identified by the community partners.
