Strategies for Improving Remote-based Weight Loss (PATH Trial)
A Remote-based Yoga Intervention for Improving Long-term Weight Loss
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the addition of online yoga classes, compared to health and wellness classes, can improve the amount of weight loss produced from an Internet-based weight loss program. All individuals will receive a 12-month, automated Internet-based weight loss program. Following 3 months of of weight loss treatment, individuals will be randomized to also receive yoga classes or health and wellness classes for 9 months. Assessments will occur at baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months and will include measures of weight, eating behaviors, physical activity, and psychosocial factors.
