Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week virtual program of yogic breathing and meditation can improve breathing, fatigue, emotional well-being, and quality of life in adults with spinal cord disorders. Participants attend two coach-guided sessions per week via Zoom and complete questionnaires about their symptoms. The goal is to see if this low-cost, home-based practice can help manage common challenges like depression and low energy.
