Textual themes distinguishing responder from non-responder teens

Themes	Yoga responders	Non-responders
Benefits of yoga	Consistent, multiple benefits reported. One teen mentioned yoga was “better than taking medicine” for pain relief. Another teen noted she “started class 8/10 for pain and ended 2/10.”	Most reported benefits were specific to class and effects wore off quickly: “The pain was completely eliminated while doing the yoga. I think for me, like, I couldn’t apply it everywhere where I needed it.”
Timeline of benefits	Almost immediately: “I noticed it after the first two sessions.”	As noted by this parent, effects were beginning to manifest: “I think she’s feeling like she’s just starting to, you know, get some benefit, real benefit.”
Parent commitment and response	6/7 parents knew about homework sheets sent home to adolescents. Parents shared in the experience with their child, used words such as ‘grateful’ and ‘excited.’ One mother, driving her daughter an hour each way, said she ‘would do anything to help her.’ Encouraged teens to attend, despite flare-ups.	6/7 parents did not know about or recall the homework sheets. Parents had low enthusiasm/commitment: “It’s a 20 minute commute, sometimes she (mother) wanted to be home and do things. So that kind of got annoying to her.” Encouraged teens to stay home if not well.
