This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a yoga-based group program can help people hospitalized with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. You would attend weekly yoga classes for four weeks, alongside your regular hospital care. The researchers want to see if this combination helps reduce symptoms and improve your overall well-being.

If you join, you would attend a 50-minute yoga class once a week for four weeks, in a small group of up to 10 people. Each session includes breathing exercises, gentle movement poses, and a relaxation period guided by a trained yoga teacher. You would also continue all your regular hospital care and activities. The study team would ask you to complete some questionnaires and provide a saliva sample to measure stress levels.
