Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Hatha Yoga

The yoga intervention will last eight weeks and include two 90-minute sessions each week. Each yoga session will consist of the same series of 26 Hatha yoga postures, two breathing exercise, and two savasanas (i.e., a resting/relaxation posture), in a room heated to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which aids in safe muscle stretching. Each participant will be given a yoga studio scan card valid for two months, and, like all yoga studio members, they will be required to scan their card prior to their yoga class.
