Slide 1: INTRO. A full description follows.

Summary

The slide deck presents an ongoing study investigating the impact of an individualised yoga intervention on the psychosocial wellbeing of cancer patients. The intervention consists of weekly 60-minute yoga sessions over four weeks, with data collected through pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. Key findings indicate a significant improvement in spiritual wellbeing (p = 0.009), while other areas showed varying levels of significance. The study highlights the need for a holistic approach tailored to individual needs, though it acknowledges limitations such as a small sample size and lack of diversity. Future research aims to enhance statistical power and explore cost-effectiveness.
