Yoga And Cardiovascular Health Trial

Those randomised to usual care plus the yoga intervention will be required to attend yoga classes twice a week for 12 weeks alongside their cardiac rehabilitation programme. There will be 24 yoga classes in total, of which, we require the participant to attend a minimum of 18. The yoga classes will be conducted by a teacher certified in yoga and cardiac rehabilitation and will encompass physical fitness (yoga poses), stress reduction (breath control and meditation) and positive lifestyle changes (diet, smoking and alcohol).
