Women (individuals reporting female sex assigned at birth who self-identify as women or non-binary) aged 18 years or older
Report chronic or recurrent pain in the pelvis (between or below the anterior iliac crests) for at least 6 months
Report at least moderate pain intensity based on a screening pain log
Report prior clinical evaluation of their pelvic pain by a healthcare professional including at least a superficial pelvic exam
Willing to refrain from initiating new clinical treatments that may affect their pain during the study period

Exclusion Criteria

Report pelvic pain occurring exclusively with menses or exclusively during sexual intercourse (although candidates with at least some pain between menses or intercourse are still eligible)

Currently pregnant (by self-report or screening test), pregnant within the past 12 weeks, or planning pregnancy during the study period
Diagnosed with an alternate, reversible cause of pelvic pain that is unlikely to respond to yoga and requires another treatment modality (e.g., current pelvic infection or a gynecologic dermatosis)
Surgery or irradiation to the genital or pelvic structures within the past 12 weeks, or anticipating upcoming surgery or irradiation to these structures during the study period
Initiation, dose escalation, or weaning of pharmacologic agents that may affect pelvic pain severity in the past 4 weeks, such as analgesics, antidepressants, or anticonvulsants-(however, women on stable doses of these medications for at least 4 weeks will still be eligible)
Use of formal psychological therapies specifically for pelvic pain (e.g., systematic desensitization, cognitive therapy, relaxation therapy) within 4 weeks of screening, or plans to engage in these therapies during the study period
Unable to walk up a flight of stairs or at least 2 blocks on level ground (i.e., functional capacity \< 4 METs), or unable to get up from a supine to a standing position without assistance
