This lead to a great discussion on why there was no information provided if the yoga instructors receive training on evaluating participants and if any bias’s occurred from the yoga instructors during their sessions to assist the participates answering their self-assessments. She also felt that as an instructor is was wanting to put some of these findings into practice.
3. On what aspects did any group member change, develop, or widen their thinking about this research? Who?
