^a Participants rated their self-efficacy in performing and holding each of the yoga postures for 30 s on a scale of 1 (not at all confident) to 5 (extremely confident)

^b An expert yoga consultant rated each participants’ success in performing each posture on a scale of 1 (not at all successful) to 5 (extremely successful)

^c Participants indicated how confident they were that they could practice yoga at home when they: 1) are tired, 2) are in a bad mood, 3) have limited time, 4) are away from home, and 5) are not regularly attending yoga classes

^d Absolute change in urinary incontinence frequency between baseline and 12 weeks

^e Participants completed the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC), a single-item measure assessing the degree to which respondents consider their bladder condition to be a problem

^f The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) – Depression Subscale, a 7-item measure of depression, in which higher scores indicate greater depression symptoms. ^g Participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) – Anxiety Subscale, a 7-item measure of cognitive anxiety, in which higher scores indicate greater anxiety

^h Participants completed the PROMIS Adult Physical Function Profile short-form, a measure for activities of daily living, lower extremity, and central body functions

^I Participants completed the Short Performance Physical Battery, a series of physical performance tests to assess lower extremity functioning, with higher scores indicating better functioning
