Detailed Description:

To develop and test the feasibility of a standardized 12-week online hatha yoga intervention (n=30) of breathing and movement incorporating both restorative poses, breathing techniques, guided meditation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: 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. OUTLINE: Patients receive online yoga intervention once a week (QW) for 12 weeks. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3 months.
