Primary Aims: Modify an existing teleyoga intervention to use with Lyme disease (LD) patients and address the technical challenges of at-home teleyoga
Participants with symptoms of Lyme disease (n=15) will participate individually in a weekly tele-yoga class using an iPad loaned by the study. Participants will choose where to attend these remote treatment sessions. Yoga treatment will last 12 weeks. Participants' subjective pain will be rated at baseline and end-of-treatment using a standard pain scale. Also assessed will be participant adherence to study protocol by tracking treatment attendance
