Ongoing fundraising event:
Mind-Body Yoga Study for Lipedema & Lymphedema
GoFundMe
The idea for this study began with Cindy Beers, a yoga educator and someone living with lipedema, and her years of working with individuals in the lipedema and lymphedema communities. Many participants reported that gentle yoga, breathing practices, and meditation seemed to help them feel better physically and emotionally, but there was very little scientific evidence available to support these observations.
Rather than relying solely on anecdotal experiences, a group of us wanted to investigate whether these benefits could be measured and documented through a formal research study to determine whether mind-body practices can serve as an effective complementary approach to care. Your contribution will help fund ethical review and regulatory oversight, HIPAA-compliant technology, secure data collection and management, participant recruitment, statistical analysis, and dissemination of findings. Every contribution helps move this project from community observations to scientific evidence.

If you would like to be a participant in this research, check back on this site periodically for updates. We project the clinical trial will commence in early 2027.
