Study Summary

The overall purpose of this study is to adapt a 12-week, standardized in-home yoga program into an 8-week in-home program with a high degree of fidelity, participant adherence, and safety. The Yoga for Seniors program was previously implemented in five rural WI communities with five yoga teachers providing the in-class guidance and support for the standardized program. The investigators seek to convert the program to a telehealth-based approach and deliver the intervention with fidelity to the program, in a safe and effective manner to 120 participants.
