Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Yoga Based Daily Excercise	Subjects will be trained to perform 30 minutes of moderate level yoga daily, with instruction on breathing, self-awareness, and ways to modify poses to avoid pain. Subjects will be instructed in use of the email links to access the 30-minute instructive video. Subjects will attend weekly Zoom classes to learn additional postures and techniques, which will be reflected in their 30 minutes video (i.e. a new video for each week). At these weekly remote yoga classes, they will be asked about difficulties encountered and given advice about their personal home practice.
