This feasibility study will evaluate yoga as a treatment for chronic pain in people living with Alzheimer's disease, and their Caregivers. The experimental treatment is yoga delivered via a tablet computer to participants at home ("teleyoga").
The investigators will demonstrate the feasibility of conducting a trial involving teleyoga for people with Alzheimer's disease and their Caregivers. Participants with Alzheimer's disease and chronic pain (n=15) and their Caregivers (n=15) will all participate in teleyoga classes. Yoga classes will be given weekly for 12 weeks. At the end of treatment, participants will provide feedback by completing a satisfaction questionnaire.
