About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a four-week yoga program works to improve quality of life in people undergoing IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). It will also learn if a four-week yoga program decreases anxiety and depression symptoms in people undergoing IVF. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a four-week yoga program effect quality of life, anxiety, and depression symptoms in people undergoing IVF? * Do the effects vary by individual characteristics of the people in the study? Researchers will compare the yoga intervention group to routine care as usual. Participants will: * Participate in a weekly virtual yoga class for four weeks (total of four yoga classes), or follow routine care as usual while undergoing IVF. * Take three online surveys every 4 weeks. * Be involved in the study for 8 weeks.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
