Researchers at Auburn University are testing whether chair yoga—a gentle form of exercise you can do sitting down—might help people with heart failure improve their memory and thinking skills. This study will work with 20 patients in two phases: first, they'll develop the yoga program with input from patients and community members, then test it with a second group to see if it really works.
People with heart failure often experience problems with memory and thinking, and many rural patients have fewer options for exercise programs that are safe and accessible. This study explores whether an affordable, online yoga program could be a solution that works for people in underserved communities.

If you join this study, you'll complete a 12-week online chair yoga program that you can do from home. You'll answer questions about your thinking and memory before you start and after you finish the 12 weeks. The researchers will check in with you to understand how the program works and what could be improved.
