The Mind-Body Project

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if a combined mindful eating and mindful movement (yoga) program is feasible and acceptable for people with overweight/obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week mindful eating and yoga intervention for adults with overweight/obesity? 2. Does the program bring about changes in mindfulness, dietary behaviors, and physical activity? 3. Does the program lead to positive changes in body composition, and key biomarkers of blood sugar and lipids assessed via a blood panel using a finger stick procedure (no venous blood draw). Researchers will compare the 8-week mindful eating and movement intervention to a waitlist control group. Participants will: Be assigned to the 8-week intervention or waitlist group. Participate 2x/week in the mindful eating and movement sessions. Complete assessments of feasibility and acceptability as well as self-report and objective assessments describe above.
