Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to the intervention (Iyengar yoga-based exercise) or control (seated relaxation yoga) group using a computer-generated sequence. Participants and yoga instructors were unmasked, but research staff verifying falls data and assessing goal attainment were masked to group allocation. Intervention participants received 80 supervised, 1-h, twice-weekly yoga classes over 12 months, and were encouraged to undertake unsupervised practice on 2 additional days per week. Control participants attended two 1-h supervised workshops focused on seated breathing and stretching. Most classes were held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary outcome was fall rate per year. Secondary outcomes were mental wellbeing, physical activity, quality of life, balance self-confidence, physical function, sleep quality, pain, and goal attainment, all assessed in the intention-to-treat population.

The mean age of participants was 67 years (SD 5·2), and 570 (81%) were female and 130 (19%) were male. Six intervention participants reported musculoskeletal-related adverse events associated with the yoga programme, and no serious adverse events occurred. Contrary to expectations, there was a higher fall rate in the intervention group than in the control group (0·87 <em>vs</em> 0·64 falls per person-year; incidence rate ratio 1·33 [95% CI 1·01–1·75; p=0·044]). The intervention improved the number of hours per week of planned physical activity (mean difference 0·96 h per week [95% CI 0·43–1·49]; p<0·0001), self-reported balance confidence (mean difference 2·94 [0·60–5·28]; p=0·014), and goal attainment (mean difference 0·60 [0·26–0·94]; p=0·0006).
