Summary

This trial will test whether a 16-week yoga program can improve micro RNA expression and reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-80 with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease who have undergone certain heart procedures or have risk factors like high blood pressure can join. They must be able to do yoga and follow the study plan. People with severe heart failure, arrhythmias, implants, autoimmune diseases, recent transplants or pregnancy, severe lung disease, liver issues or heavy alcohol use cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if a 16-week chair yoga program can change micro RNA expression linked to heart disease and improve related health markers in patients with cardiovascular conditions.
What are the potential side effects?
Chair yoga is generally safe but may include muscle soreness or strain. Since it's gentle exercise designed for those with limited mobility, serious side effects are not common.
