      The study evaluates the effectiveness of yoga practices on reducing stress, negative emotion,&#xD;
      anxiety, and depression and on increasing positive emotion, wellbeing and resilience. The&#xD;
      study uses randomized wait-list control. All U.S. undergraduate students in 4-year&#xD;
      universities and colleges age 18 or older are eligible to participate.&#xD;

      The purpose of this project is to widely disseminate a system of yoga tools to university&#xD;
      students, faculty, and staff internationally to buffer the psychological impact of the&#xD;
      COVID-19 pandemic. A recent study finds that stress, anxiety, and depression are the major&#xD;
      psychological responses to COVID-19 during the early outbreaks in China (Wang et al., 2020).&#xD;
      Globally, universities have closed campuses and moved learning, teaching, and working online&#xD;
      with a very short notice. CDC suggests that keeping physically active and meditation are&#xD;
      among the key activities to maintain a strong immune system and mental health during&#xD;
      quarantine. Studies have documented physical and mental benefits of yoga practices&#xD;
      (Balasubramaniam, Telles, &amp; Doraiswamy, 2013; Brems, 2015; Brunner, Abramovitch, &amp; Etherton,&#xD;
      2017; Büssing, Michalsen, Telles, Sherman, &amp; Khalsa, 2012) This project introduces a system&#xD;
      of yoga tools to buffer the psychological impact of COVID-19. This system of yoga tools is&#xD;
      designed by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, a yogi, mystic, author, and founder of the Isha&#xD;
      Foundation. The Isha foundation is a volunteer-based international non-profit organization,&#xD;
      offering yoga and meditation programs for human wellbeing and global harmony. In partnership&#xD;
      with the Isha Foundation and Harvard University Medical School, the study will document the&#xD;
      short-term and long-term effects of these yogic practices on stress, mood, wellbeing,&#xD;
      resilience, and academic engagement for students and work engagement for faculty and staff&#xD;
      during this challenging time.&#xD;

      during this challenging time.
