Excessive stress is harmful to academic performance in children and may lead to dropping out of school. To meet the demands of a modern life-style which is full of speed, stress and tension, an all-round child health program is crucial. The use of yoga for children has diverse applications in maintaining and developing their physical, mental, intellectual, emotional and spiritual levels. Yoga, through its physical postures (asana), breathing practices (pranayama), cleansing techniques (kriya), meditation therapies (dhyana) and relaxation training (yoga nidra) yields a positive effect in the management of stress in children. Yoga practice benefited children by improving their eye-hand coordination, attention span, levels of concentration, competitive performance and relaxation. Visually impaired children showed a significant decrease in their abnormal anxiety levels when they practiced yoga for three weeks, while a program of physical activity had no such effect. Socially disadvantaged children in a remand home showed significant improvements in sleep, appetite and general well being, as well as a decrease in physiological arousal after yoga. In one study, it is found that a 4-week program of asana and meditation lowers the aggressive behavior of children. Meditation helped to reduce problems related to maladaptive behavior, increase emotional and physical health and psychological well-being in children. Finally, the possible role of yoga in improving the mental state and general well-being of children with cancer is being explored.

, 1989). The study assessed the effects of yoga practices (breathing exercises, pranayama, loosening exercises, suryanamaskara, asana and meditation) for a year. The moderately retarded among the yoga group performed significantly better on testing with the Binet-Kamat test (for general mental ability), Seguin form board (for co-ordination), and in the Vineland social maturity scale (to assess social adjustment and behavior), compared to their initial performance, as well as to that of the control group.
The study employed a quasi-experimental research design in which 31 voluntary children (exercise group 16; control group15) aged 7 to 12 years were purposively sampled from one public elementary school in Taipei County. The yoga exercise program was practiced by the exercise group three times per week for a consecutive 7 week period. Each 60 min yoga session included 10 min of warm-up and breathing exercises, 40 min of yoga postures, and 10 min of cool down exercises.

Fitness scores were assessed at pre-exercise (baseline) and at the seventh and ninth week after intervention completion. A total of 30 subjects (exercise group 16; control group 14) completed the follow-up. Results included: 1.
In one such study (Chen, 2009) the effect of yoga exercise was investigated on the health-related physical fitness of school-age children with asthma. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design in which 31 voluntary children (exercise group 16; control group15) aged 7 to 12 years were purposively sampled from one public elementary school in Taipei County. The yoga exercise program was practiced by the exercise group three times per week for a consecutive 7 week period.

, 2010), on an inpatient hematology/oncology unit, 11 children aged 6 to 12 years, 5 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years, and 33 parents participated in a single yoga session tailored to the needs and abilities of the patients and parents. The sense of well-being, pre- and post class, was measured with the Spielberg State Anxiety Scale. Children had normal anxiety scores pre- class that did not change.

Research found a positive association between exercise habits after school and muscular strength and endurance among asthmatic children. 2. Compared to the control group, the exercise group showed favorable outcomes in terms of flexibility and muscular endurance. Such favorable outcomes remained evident even after adjusting for age, duration of disease and steroid use, values for which were unequally distributed between the two groups at the baseline.
The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) analysis showed that yoga exercise indeed improved Body Mass Index (BMI), flexibility, and muscular endurance. After 2 weeks of self-practice at home, yoga exercise continued to improve BMI, flexibility, muscular strength, and cardiopulmonary fitness.
, 1997). After six months of practicing yoga with an emphasis on relaxation and awareness, the children showed significant improvement (reduced heart and breathing rates, and an increase in skin resistance). In contrast, a matched group of children who had a physical activity program during the allotted time, for the six month period, showed no such changes in the breathing rate or skin resistance.
In the study of yoga on the attention span and behavior of boys with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), results showed a significant improvement on the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) Response Time Variability with a trend on the ADHD score, and greater improvements on the Conner’s Teacher Rating Scales (CTRS) Global Emotional Liability subscale in the yoga group.
