Summary

The current study aims to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a Hatha yoga-based group intervention on reminiscence functions and mindfulness in a sample of patients hospitalized for schizophrenia.

Conditions

  • SCHIZOPHRENIA 1 (Disorder)
  • Hospitalized Adult Patients

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention Arm: Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga balances the body's "sun" (ha) and "moon" (tha) energies to promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness. There will be eight two-hour Hatha yoga-based group therapy sessions over eight weeks. A professional yoga teacher and mental health nurse will lead these helpful sessions. Better memory and alertness are the major goals. To ensure participant safety and study validity, a multidisciplinary team assesses health, trauma triggers, and personal goals before the program begins. The lessons are held in a comfortable area with adjustable props and lighting. Trainers employ trauma-sensitive language and retain privacy on all participants, including "Hesitant" and "Overwhelmed." Each session includes grounding, pranayama, asana, and dhyana.
