Behavioral health difficulties are prevalent for college students globally. Curriculum-based workshops are gaining support as one means of supplementing college counseling services. Further, there is little research on the use of yoga for college populations. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of a curriculum-based intervention using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and yoga on psychological flexibility and distress over time (pre- and post-workshop and 4-week follow-up). Another aim was to assess receptivity towards and helpfulness of a curriculum-based ACT workshop. Participants were assigned to one of three conditions: ACT plus yoga intervention, ACT-only intervention, and a teaching-as-usual control group. It was hypothesized that college students would demonstrate lower levels of psychological inflexibility and psychological distress over time following the ACT plus yoga workshop compared to the two other groups. Results (N = 237) indicated significant differences between intervention groups with changes in psychological inflexibility from post-workshop to follow-up. Those in the ACT plus yoga group demonstrated higher psychological inflexibility immediately following the workshop, and these scores decreased at follow-up. Additionally, from post-workshop to follow-up, all three groups decreased in psychological inflexibility. There were no significant differences between intervention groups in changes in psychological distress. In analyzing the qualitative data, both intervention groups reported that the most helpful component was mindfulness. In the ACT plus yoga group, the second most helpful component reported was yoga. Implications for using movement-based ACT interventions and curriculum-based interventions are discussed.

行为健康困难在全球大学生中普遍存在。以课程为基础的讲习班正在获得支持，作为补充大学咨询服务的一种手段。此外，关于大学人群使用瑜伽的研究很少。当前的研究旨在调查使用基于接受和承诺治疗（ACT）的瑜伽课程干预以及随着时间的推移（上班前后，以及4周随访）瑜伽对心理灵活性和困扰的影响。另一个目的是评估对基于课程的ACT讲习班的接受程度和帮助程度。学员被分配到三个条件之一：ACT加上瑜伽干预，只有ACT干预和teaching-作为-常规对照组。据推测，与其他两个小组相比，在ACT加瑜伽班之后，随着时间的流逝，大学生将表现出较低水平的心理僵硬和心理困扰。结果（N = 237）表明干预组之间存在显着差异，从工作后到随访期间，心理僵硬程度有所变化。ACT加瑜伽组的人员在研讨会结束后立即表现出较高的心理灵活性，并且这些分数在随访时下降。此外，从工作后到随访，这三组患者的心理僵硬程度均下降。干预组之间在心理困扰方面没有显着差异。在分析定性数据时，两个干预组均报告说，最有用的部分是正念。在ACT加瑜伽组中，第二个最有帮助的成分是瑜伽。讨论了使用基于运动的ACT干预和基于课程的干预的含义。
