Summary

Most research on the impact of mild Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussions have been deficit-based and focused on the impairments induced by the injury. Research shows that trauma doesn't always have negative effects. While some people suffer, others may experience positive psychological changes. This is known as posttraumatic growth (PTG), which refers to the positive changes that can come from struggling with a life-changing event. In this study, the investigators explore if pilot yoga intervention improves PTG scores for women who have had concussions.

Conditions

  • Concussion Mild

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Yoga

The LoveYourBrain (LYB) Yoga program is a six-week, evidence-based, light intensity Yoga and meditation curriculum developed for individuals living with TBI. It is delivered online and synchronously, the program is led by experienced instructors with more than a decade of teaching experience in Yoga. Each weekly session is 75 minutes and combines gentle postures, guided breathing exercises (pranayama), Yoga nidra (deep relaxation), and meditation practices. Before each of the Yoga sessions, participants are e-mailed prerecorded tools that focused on a specific theme for the week (resilience, mindfulness etc.)

BEHAVIORAL

Yoga for wait list control

After the active Yoga group received the intervention, the wait list control was then assigned to the intervention.
