Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Rage Against the Pain (RAP)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The RAP program curriculum will mirror that of the Hatha Yoga classes, but will differ from this traditional yoga practice in a number of ways: (1) the classes will be set to rock/heavy metal music; (2) meditation will not be incorporated; (3) yoga terms will not be used to describe the poses/movements (rather, poses will be cued in plain descriptive English terms); (4) the culminating activity for the class will be called a 'cool down' (rather than the typical relaxation/meditation exercise used in yoga, referred to as savasana).
Group II: Treatment as Usual (i.e., yoga)Active Control1 Intervention
The 'treatment as usual' class will be conducted in the style of the yoga classes currently being offered to Veterans at the Hines VA Hospital, which is a program akin to Hatha yoga with chair modifications available to all Veterans who choose/need to use them.
