Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a combined therapeutic yoga and resistance exercise intervention for individuals with lung cancer and their caregivers. The investigators aim is to help reduce the fear of exercise by tailoring the program to meet the specific needs of the survivor with lung cancer. The investigators want to see whether individuals with lung cancer and their caregivers are interested in participating in this type of program, and if they are able to attend the intervention sessions and complete the program. The investigators also plan to study the preliminary effects of therapeutic yoga and resistance exercise on fitness outcomes for both individuals with lung cancer and their caregivers.

- The individuals with lung cancer and their caregivers will participate in a combined intervention of yoga and resistance exercise for 8-week, two times/week. The dyad will attend a one-hour resistance exercise intervention at the start of the week and a one-hour yoga class with a break of one day between both interventions. The resistance exercise training will involve one-on-one personal exercise session, while the yoga intervention will be offered in a class setting.
