health-related outcomes of yoga. Patients diagnosed with cancer undergoing oncological
treatment at two hospitals in Sweden will be included in the study. A preference-based
allocation will be used, participants chose self if they want to participate in in-person
yoga at a studio or in yoga online. Regardless of allocation, the yoga sessions will take
