Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Yoga Practice ProgramExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The 3-month yoga intervention will provide instruction and practice in a variety of yoga postures and techniques that have been selected by the study yoga expert consultants for their potential to improve bladder control and safety and feasibility for the target population. The study will feature a therapeutic program based primarily on Iyengar yoga, a form of Hatha yoga that is known for its potential therapeutic applications.
Group II: Physical Conditioning ProgramActive Control1 Intervention
The 3-month muscle stretching/strengthening intervention program (also referred to as the "physical conditioning" program) has been designed by the study physical therapist consultants. Similar to postures in the yoga intervention program, the exercises in the stretching/strengthening program have been selected for their potential to be performed safely by women across a range of ages and flexibility levels.
