This feasibility study will evaluate yoga as a treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain. The experimental treatment is yoga delivered via a tablet computer to participants at home ("teleyoga"). First, the investigators will develop a suitable protocol for teleyoga. Second, the investigators will demonstrate the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial involving randomization to teleyoga or in-person yoga groups.
The first phase of the study is not randomized. In this phase, the first group of participants (n=10) will all participate in a tele-yoga class using an iPad loaned to them by the study. They will attend this treatment session from the comfort of their home or a location of their choice. Yoga treatment will last 12 weeks. At the end of treatment, veterans will provide feedback by completing a satisfaction questionnaire to rate various aspects of the teleyoga (e.g. technical challenges, ability to perform yoga through the video-conferencing platform, problems that occurred, and recommendations to improve the class, etc). The teleyoga protocol will be modified on the basis of this feedback and will be tested on a second group of participants (n=10). The second phase of the study will involve randomization of a further group of participants (n=30) to either the teleyoga developed in phase one, or in-person yoga.
