POMB Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Hatha YogaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be invited to attend one 60-75 minute yoga class for 10 weeks in the prison facility where they reside. Each class will consist of: breathing exercises, brief guided centering meditation, warm-ups, standing postures, floor postures, an inversion, relaxation, and between-class practice assignments. Classes will emphasize mindfulness, including noticing emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations related to anger, and moderate physical activity. Classes will include some teaching of a relevant yoga theme, such as nonviolence (ahimsa).
Group II: Health EducationActive Control1 Intervention
To match for attention, the control condition will be a 10-week program that consists of weekly 60-75 minute group classes. In classes, instructors will provide information about general health topics through a variety of means such as slides and handouts. There will be an emphasis on group discussion of relevant topics; instructors do not just lecture. The core rationale for this course is that good physical health is important for good mental health. Instructors will provide information and encourage questions but avoid psychotherapeutic techniques or personalized goal-setting. Instructors will give participants readings to explore on their own.
