Brief Summary

This study is to evaluate the physical and cognitive effects of a 15 min per day novel breathing and mindfulness moving-meditation program on metabolism, cognition, and emotion health. It is thought that the breathing and movement program will increase basal metabolism, facilitate fat loss, and decrease depressive behaviors. Anthropometric, blood chemistries, and cognitive measures of depression, sleep, and hunger will be measured over a two-month interventional program.
