I. To evaluate the yoga intervention in relation to self-reported levels of stress and quality of life in cancer survivors (n=30).
II. Feasibility of collecting blood and saliva at baseline and post-intervention for stress biomarkers, including cortisol and norepinephrine.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine how behavior change, quality of life (QoL), and biomarkers of adrenergic stress, inflammation, and immunosuppression are affected by a 12-week online yoga program completed by cancer survivors.
