About this trial
The goal of this study is to determine if a mind-body intervention can help people suffering from symptoms associated with Long COVID. The study is a randomized trial examining the effectiveness of a mind body intervention in reducing somatic symptoms from Long COVID in participants as compared to usual care and an active control (second mind body intervention). The investigators will secondarily investigate whether the intervention alleviates individual somatic complaints and improves daily functioning, relative to usual care and the active control
