Summary

This study looks at whether adding online yoga classes to an internet-based weight loss program can help people lose more weight and keep it off. About 210 adults with obesity will take part. Everyone gets a 12-month online weight loss program, and after 3 months, some also get yoga classes while others get health and wellness classes for 9 months. Researchers will track weight, eating habits, and activity levels over 18 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
yoga
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, home-based way to improve long-term weight loss results.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study, and the yoga may not lead to significantly better weight loss than the health and wellness classes. Results may not apply to everyone.
