First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study tests whether an 8-week program combining mindful eating and yoga is practical and well-liked by adults with overweight or obesity. Researchers will check if participants stick with the program and if it leads to better mindfulness, healthier eating, more physical activity, and positive changes in body composition and blood markers. The study compares the program group to a waitlist group and involves 60 Northeastern University affiliates.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a low-cost, non-drug approach to help people with obesity improve eating habits and physical activity.
