Treatment of Anxiety/Depression and Pain Through Relaxation Yoga for Patient With Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

The investigators research question is whether or not yoga effectively alleviates symptoms
of pain, sleep disturbance, anxiety and depression in children with cystic fibrosis. If
yoga does prove to be effective, the investigators will educate our CF population about the
benefits they may experience if they choose to incorporate yoga into their CF therapy. The
investigators will also go on to do further research of other complementary alternative
medicine therapies.

This is a pre/post-test study with 20 subjects. The subjects will serve as their own
controls. Each subject will participate in six yoga sessions over a ten week period.
Subjects' symptoms will be evaluated with the use of questionnaires. The investigators will
also test cortisol levels on weeks -2, -1, 1, 6, 7, 8. Cortisol is a hormone that is
affected by stress. Testing of cortisol throughout the study will help us determine the
subjects' stress level throughout the study.
