• It is standard procedure to administer a pregnancy test before the start of CRT. Patients are deemed not pregnant by virtue of urine pregnancy test (UPT) or testing of the blood. Due to radiation and the nature of the disease, a patient becoming pregnant while on study is highly unlikely. In the event a patient were to get pregnant, they would be removed from study because their radiation therapy (RT) might be stopped or fetus would be terminated, which might influence other parameters that are being measured
• Patients with major psychiatric diagnoses (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder)
• Patients with extreme mobility issues, and
• Patients who have had a regular yoga practice (at least one time a month) in past 6 months prior to study enrollment or who are currently engaged in a regular mind-body practice
