Study Summary
The integrity of interoceptive networks is linked to resilience against depressive symptoms, whereas degradation of these networks is linked to apathy and deficits in emotion processing. The goal of this study is to compare two major styles of yoga and cardiovascular exercise through a 10-week training program to promote interoceptive awareness. The researchers hypothesize that improvement in affective symptomatology will be correlated with better interoceptive development. Changes in mood related symptoms and interoception will be assessed at baseline, week 12 and week 14, in a cohort of adults aged 18-55.
Primary Outcome
Interoceptive acuity will be assessed at baseline, week 12 and week 14. Data collection at three time points will be used to assess changes in interoceptive acuity over the timeline.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Physical Exercise Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL Gentle Yoga Intervention
- BEHAVIORAL Rigorous Yoga Intervention
