A pilot study of an 8-week, group-based, chakra-informed kundalini yoga intervention for adolescents and young adults with diabetes: Feasibility, youth outcomes, and caregiver distress
This single‑group pilot supports feasibility and was associated with improvements in psychological distress, stress‑regulation markers, and cardiometabolic indices. Larger controlled trials are warranted to evaluate potential additive benefits alongside standard diabetes care.
