Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In addition, participants completing the 3-month weight loss program will be randomly assigned to receive either 9 months of Iyengar yoga classes or 9 months of health and wellness classes. These classes will be held twice per week (live via Zoom) for 14 weeks and then once per week thereafter.
To evaluate the program, participants are asked to complete assessments prior to starting the program (baseline) and at 3, 6, 12 (post-treatment), and 18 months (6 months after completion of the program). For these assessments, participants will be asked to weigh themselves on their study scale, complete a series of online surveys, wear a physical activity monitor for 10 days, and answer daily surveys on their smartphone for 10 days.
