Recent data suggests a concerning increase in mental health challenges among college students. Untreated mental health conditions can have significant negative consequences on college students’ lives such as poor academic performance, hindered social relationships, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of substance abuse. Yoga may offer a potential option to help tackle mental health problems among college students. TAGteach (Teaching with Acoustical Guidance) offers an intervention package that has been shown to improve performance in areas of sports and athletic activities. The current study systematically replicated Ennett and colleagues (2020) by examining the effects of TAGteach to teach beginner yoga poses to college students. We compared two error-correction procedures: standard TAGteach and TAGteach with reduced practice, to assess the impact on skill acquisition, maintenance, and generalization. This presentation will discuss results and provide practical recommendations for applying TAGteach within health and wellness programs, as well as provide directions for future research.
