Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
What is the effect of a hatha yoga intervention on depression and anxiety symptoms?
What is the effect of a hatha yoga intervention on electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha and theta band power?
What is the effect of hatha yoga intervention on heart rate variability?
Participants will be randomized to three groups: waitlist control (usual routine), Hatha yoga (experimental group), and meditation (active comparative group). Participants in the Hatha yoga experimental group will attend 10 weeks of twice-weekly 45-minute yoga sessions.
The active comparison meditation group will participate in 10 weeks of twice-weekly 45-minute meditation sessions. The control group will continue with their usual routine.
Researchers will compare changes in depression and anxiety symptoms, EEG alpha and theta band power, and heart rate variability between the three groups.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participants in the control group will maintain their usual daily routine. The participants will complete the pre-test, 10 weeks of normal daily activities, and post-test. No changes to their daily schedule will be made by the researcher.
No interventions assigned to this group
Active Comparator- 10-week, 2x/week, 45-minute sessions of guided meditation
The active comparator meditation group will complete a 10-week meditation yoga intervention (2x/week, 45 minutes per session). Each session will consist of yogic breathing, imagery, and meditation, specifically with a focus on each of the yogic limbs. The yogic limbs that will be incorporated during the meditation intervention are yamas, niyamas, pranayamas, and sense withdrawal/meditative techniques.
Yoga
Participation in Hatha Yoga twice a week for 45 minutes for 10 weeks. The total potential dose is 900 minutes over the course of the intervention.
Experimental- 10-week, 2x/week, 45-minute Hatha yoga sessions
The experimental hatha yoga group will complete a 10-week yoga intervention (2x/week, 45 minutes per session). Each session will consist of a centering, integration, awakening, vitality, equanimity, grounding, igniting, opening, release, and deep rest; all of which are specific hatha yoga practice sections. This group will complete the pre-test and post-test measures.
