Summary

The overall purpose of this study is to deliver a 12-week yoga program to older adults (over 60 years of age) in rural WI who do not have access to yoga programming and examine the effects of the programming on activities of daily living, gait, balance, falls, activity level and social isolation.

Detailed description

Participants will be assigned to immediately begin a 12-week yoga class (2 classes per week for 75 minutes each) or complete a 12-week wait (wait-list control). The measures of interest will be examined at pretest (wait-list only), baseline, posttest and at 3-month follow-up to see what, if any, changes are maintained after completion of the program. All assessment data collections sessions will be conducted on-site at a predetermined site identified by the community partners.
