Yoga to Enhance Cancer Survivorship, LYNC Study

This study investigates online delivery of yoga classes in enhancing cancer survivorship in young adult cancer survivors. Psychosocial and physical health (e.g., depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, fatigue) are significantly poorer among young adult cancer survivors (age 20-39) than young adults without cancer and cancer survivors age >= 40. Yoga may improve important cancer-related outcomes, such as decreasing sleep disturbances and fatigue, improving quality of life, and reducing emotional distress in cancer survivors. Participating in yoga sessions may help improve psychosocial or physical functioning in young adult cancer survivors.
