The goal of this pilot study is to assess the impact of yoga as a treatment modality in pediatric patients age 8-18 diagnosed with idiopathic overactive bladder as measured by validated questionnaires and urinary biomarkers. The main question it aims to answer is: Does yoga help improve overactive bladder symptoms in this patient population? Participants will take part in a weekly yoga session for a total of 6 weeks with validated questionnaires and urinary samples for biomarkers to be completed at the beginning, middle and end of the study. This study will follow a cross-over study design and patients will receive standard of care while not in the active treatment arm.
