The yoga therapy includes 3 elements: yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and relaxation moments. Emphasis on postures and breathing techniques that are considered to be effective for fatigue symptoms, as well as specific breathing exercises to strengthen the respiratory muscles and increase lung volume.

Health Education: Health education courses are conducted on-site once a week for 90 minutes over a 12-week period by a psychologist with clinical experience. The courses are didactic in nature and consist of lectures on topics of interest to patients with post-COVID syndrome and fatigue, followed by questions and discussion sessions. Topics include information on post-COVID syndrome and fatigue, an introduction to self-help for post-viral symptoms, psychosocial problems and fatigue, relaxation and stress management, nutrition, sleep hygiene, exercise, respecting one's own limits, acceptance, finding meaning, and achieving goals.

Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis * Follow-up symptoms of ≥ 12 weeks * Persistent fatigue (scores ≥4 on the binomial Chalder Fatigue Scale). * Self-assessment that fatigue was a consequence of COVID-19 disease * Age 18-65 years Exclusion Criteria: * Chronic medical conditions or regular use of medications associated with fatigue * Indication of health cause of fatigue other than post-COVID. * Indication of other factors as the main cause of fatigue * Physical limitations that do not allow participation in the yoga intervention * Pregnancy, breastfeeding * Concurrent participation in other clinical trials * Current yoga practice

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Fatigue — 12 weeks
    The chalder fatigue scale is used to assess the severity of fatigue within the last 4 weeks. It contains 11 questions in a four-step answer format (0-4), 7 of which refer to the degree of physical fatigue and 4 to the degree of mental fatigue. In its binomial evaluation (range 0-11) it can be used with a cut-off of (≥ 4) to divide patients into those with and those without fatigue.
