What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a four-week yoga program works to improve quality of life in people undergoing IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). It will also learn if a four-week yoga program decreases anxiety and depression symptoms in people undergoing IVF.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does a four-week yoga program effect quality of life, anxiety, and depression symptoms in people undergoing IVF?

* Do the effects vary by individual characteristics of the people in the study?

Researchers will compare the yoga intervention group to routine care as usual.

Participants will:

* Participate in a weekly virtual yoga class for four weeks (total of four yoga classes), or follow routine care as usual while undergoing IVF.

* Take three online surveys every 4 weeks.

* Be involved in the study for 8 weeks.
