Examining the Effectiveness of Asynchronous Versus Synchronous Yoga for Veterans With Chronic Pain

The overarching goals of the proposed research are to pilot test feasibility and acceptability of a 5-session yoga primer to the mindful practice of pain-sensitive teleyoga and its impact on subsequent teleyoga practice delivered either synchronously or asynchronously. The research will also test the preliminary effectiveness of teleyoga practice on outcomes related to chronic pain, mental health, and quality of life. * Aim 1: Assess acceptability and feasibility of trial methodology to inform future larger-scale trials. * Aim 2: Use intent-to-treat analysis and random effect regression models to compare changes in pain interference, pain severity, physical function, quality of life, depression, and anxiety between participants who attend synchronous vs. asynchronous teleyoga. The primary purpose of a pilot study is to assess feasibility of methods to inform future larger studies. However, inferential analyses may be appropriate to help ascertain estimates of variability for the primary and secondary outcomes that can be used to power larger trials. To that end, the investigators will use intent-to-treat procedures and random effect regression models to compare changes in the outcome variables between patients who receive asynchronous vs. synchronous teleyoga. Hypothesis: The investigators predict that asynchronous teleyoga will be non-inferior to synchronous teleyoga in reducing the primary outcome of pain interference, as well as across secondary outcomes
