Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to examine how to design a large-scale randomized control trial examining yoga as a way to improve positive body image in men and women across the lifespan. The main questions it will answer are:

* Is the study acceptable to participants?
* Is recruitment, adherence, and retention adequate?
* Are study procedures appropriate?
* What is the preliminary effect of yoga on embodiment (sense of connection with the body), self-objectification (evaluating oneself based on outer appearance rather than internal functions) and body appreciation?

Participants will either take part in a 10-week yoga program or a control condition (where they will be asked to not change their lifestyle). They will complete online questionnaires at the start, middle and end of the 10-weeks.
