Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Mind-Body Interventions
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Youth face stressors impacting long-term outcomes.
  • Social-emotional skills are crucial for building resilience.
  • Yoga interventions show potential for enhancing youth social-emotional resiliency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of the Kripalu Yoga in the Schools (KYIS) intervention.
  • To assess KYIS integration into physical education classes.
  • To evaluate impacts on social-emotional competence and problem behavior in diverse middle school students.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental design was used with sixth-grade students (n=23).
  • The intervention group (n=9) received physical education with KYIS.
  • The control group (n=14) received art and music; social-emotional competence and problem behavior were measured pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

  • Students in the KYIS intervention showed increased social-emotional competence over time compared to the control group.
  • Initial scores indicated lower social-emotional competence in the yoga group at baseline.
  • Results suggest a potential positive effect of yoga on social-emotional development.

Conclusions:

  • Yoga interventions may enhance social-emotional competence among youth.
  • The study highlights the potential utility of yoga curricula in school settings.
  • Further research is warranted to explore yoga's benefits for student well-being.
