Research

Equilibrium and Academic Performance
(Article source: Trish David - Yoga teacher, councillor & educator)

In a twelve month study of over 400 primary school and middle school students, Slovacek, Tucker & Pantojo (2003) found that as a consequence of participation in a yoga curriculum for one hour per week, 'bad' behaviour, as measured by discipline referrals, decreased. Research suggests yoga helps decrease stress levels, build positive emotional experience and improve academic performance in school children (Aftanas & Golocheikine, 2001; Kauts & Sharma, 2009).
