Conclusions
This study explored participants’ expectations before starting a tele-yoga intervention. By studying the expectations of the participants in the intervention, we can further understand what influences them to participate and how expectations can affect adherence to the tele-yoga intervention as well as the outcomes. Several expectations for tele-yoga emerged, including various aspects of improved physical function and health, along with increased mental well-being and performance. There was also an expectation that the technology could facilitate the delivery of yoga. This facilitates the understanding of what influences and motivates participants to participate in an intervention study focusing on digitally delivered yoga.The study was supported by the Swedish Research Council for Medicine and Health – VR (grant number 2018-02719), the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare – FORTE (grant number 2018-00650), the Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation (grant number 20170766), and FORSS (grant number 941180).Conflicts of Interest: None declared.Interview guide.
