Yoga in Schools
The scientific rationale and research evidence
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
Yoga is an ancient behavioral practice that allows for the development of the skills of mind-body awareness or mindfulness, self-regulation of internal physiological and psychological state, and physical fitness. Yoga is becoming increasingly popular as a behavioral strategy for the promotion and maintenance of health and wellness, and as preventive medicine.
In this online program, you will learn the important need for such skills in our education system and public schools, discover the scientific evidence on the underlying mechanisms of yoga practice supporting the rationale for yoga in schools, and review the existing research evidence for its efficacy in school settings.
