This study is testing an inpatient yoga therapy program for cancer patients who are having a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), also known as a bone marrow transplant. The goal is to create a yoga program that fits different cultures in India, Tanzania, and the United States, and to see if it's practical for patients to participate. You would attend yoga sessions, complete questionnaires about your symptoms, anxiety, depression, and quality of life, and have an exit interview. The study is looking to enroll 60 participants aged 18 or older who are scheduled for an HSCT and can speak English, Hindi, or Swahili. The main measure of success is how your health questionnaire scores change over about one year.
