Here are some of the studies detailing the benefits of yoga for children:
FOCUS, ATTENTION & ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Brings students into the present moment – the most basic requirement for learning (Eastman-Mueller et al., 2013; Wang & Hagins, 2016).
Has a positive impact on students’ academic performance (Anila et al., 2016; Butzer et al., 2015; Hagins and Rundle, 2016; Kauts & Sharma, 2009 Singh et al., 2016; Theirry et al., 2016; Wang & Hagins, 2016; Bennett & Dorjee, 2016).
Enhances focus, attention, concentration, comprehension and memory (Case-Smith et al., 2010; Ehud et al., 2010; Pradhan & Nagendra, 2010; Napoli et al., 2005; Manjunath & Telles, 2004; Wimmer et al., 2016; Quach et al., 2015; Mak et al., 2018; Tarrasch et al., 2018).
Serves as a promising form of physical and cognitive training to enhance learning-related outcomes (Butzer et al., 2016).
POSITIVE CLIMATE AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
Encourages community and connectedness within the classroom (Conboy et al., 2013; Finnan, 2015).
Creates a calm, harmonious classroom and positive school climate (Butzer et al., 2015; Kielty et al., 2017; Wisner, 2014).
Provides an opportunity for teacher self-care which can support positive classroom climate as well as improvements in teacher effectiveness and student outcomes (Roeser et al., 2012).
BEHAVIOR
Provides opportunities for reflection, patience and insight, thereby reducing problem behaviors such as suspensions, bullying, unexcused absences, detentions, impulsivity, hostility, and reactivity (Bakosh et al., 2015; Centeio et al., 2017; Fishbein et al., 2016; Franco et al., 2016; Frank et al, 2014; Frank et al., 2016; Parker et al., 2014; Salmoirago-Blotcher et al., 2018).
