At the end of the trial series, weekly attendance and online feedback data determined that this series should continue.CONCLUSIONS:
Yoga provides health professionals and students with a welcomed midday break from a stressful work environment. Additionally, by partnering with yoga instructor trainee programs, the financial burden is low for the library.
