Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: YOCAS©®Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
YOCAS©® is a standardized yoga program designed specifically for use by cancer patients and survivors. The YOCAS©® program is a low to moderate intensity mode of exercise that draws from two basic types of yoga: gentle Hatha and Restorative yoga. The program includes 18 specific physical postures (asanas) and mindfulness exercises focused on breathing (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana). The program is designed to be delivered by certified yoga instructors in community settings, two times a week for 75 minutes over four weeks.
Group II: Standard CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cancer survivors assigned to this condition continued with the standard follow-up care provided by their treating oncologists as appropriate for individual diagnoses. Participants in the control condition were offered the 4-week YOCAS©® program gratis after completing all study requirements.
