Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this Study is to find out if Iyengar-Yoga has a rejuvenating effect on women after menopause. The biofunctional status of the study participants will be assessed before and after a 12-week yoga program.


Clinical Trial Description

Postmenopausal women qualifying as participants for the study are patients at the Universitätsklinik für Frauenheilkunde in Bern or are recruited through public advertisement. After giving informed consent the patients will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria and their biofunctional Status will be assessed. The participants of the study will then be randomly assigned to the intervention group (12 week yoga program) or to the control group. In addition to the 90 minutes yoga sessions instructed by a professional yoga teacher, the participants of the intervention group are asked to perform two yoga sessions lasting 45 minutes per week at home and document these in a diary. After the 12 weeks the biofunctional Status of all participants of the study will be reassessed. ;
