The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of yoga, pain education, and yoga nidra with pain acceptance intention to yoga, pain education, and relaxing music on pain intensity, well-being, and sleep quality. This is a pilot study trial of individuals with chronic low back pain. Participants will attend two sessions in the laboratory (week 1 and week 8) and complete their assigned intervention 2 x per week for 6 weeks at home. Participants will be randomized to either receive yoga postures targeting the low back, pain education, and yoga nidra with pain acceptance intention and motor imagery or yoga postures targeting the low back, pain education, and relaxing music.
