      The purpose of this study is to examine the immediate and cumulative effects of yoga on&#xD;
      stress and mood among young adult college students attending an 8-week program in Vinyasa&#xD;

    <textblock>
      Traditional vigorous aerobic exercises (TAE), such as running and bicycling have been shown&#xD;
      to improve mood and relieve stress. Yoga is an ancient physical and mental practice that as a&#xD;
      form of exercise may share properties of TAE and in turn offer similar mood and stress&#xD;
      effects. However, scientifically rigorous studies examining the psychological effects of yoga&#xD;
      and published in peer-reviewed Western journals are rare. The aim of this research was to&#xD;
      establish preliminary evidence for the acute effects of vinyasa yoga on mood and stress among&#xD;
      young adults.&#xD;
