The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of yoga participation for adults with cystic fibrosis. The main question it aims to answer is: does participation in yoga affect health-related quality of life for adults with cystic fibrosis? Researchers will compare a group completing a 12-week yoga programme alongside usual cystic fibrosis care, to a group completing usual care alone to see if the addition of yoga effects health-related quality of life.
