Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study protocol consists of healthy participants (randomized in two breathing groups) undergoing a remotely delivered 8-week intervention and a 12-week sleep tracking period (including 2 week before the intervention, 8 week during the intervention, and 2 week after the intervention). Several sleep metrics will be extracted to characterize long-term sleep patterns and degree of sleep improvement. Participants will also be asked to complete pre- and post-intervention questionnaires.
The two remotely delivered interventions will be guided by two separate certified experienced yoga teachers. Both interventions will include 60-minute weekly group virtual sessions (1day/week) with a 20-minute daily home sessions (in between weekly sessions; 6 days/week) using home-aid practice materials.
