Participants randomized to the intervention are asked to attend 8 hatha yoga classes delivered in a group format.

Participants randomized to the waitlist control condition complete assessments while the intervention group completes the yoga intervention. They are given the option to complete 8 hatha yoga classes delivered in group format once the waitlist period is finished.

Headache

8 Hatha yoga classes lasting approximately one hour each and delivered in small group format (i.e., classes no larger than 8 participants). Classes are tailored to address pediatric tension-type headache.
