CONCLUSION
Yoga has been shown to improve strength, flexibility,
concentration, and energy in some individuals and is
widely practiced in many settings throughout the
world. The practice of yoga includes working on these
outcomes as well as breathing and meditation to
improve overall well-being. Yoga may be a useful
adjunct to therapy programs and is currently being
used in clinics. It may also provide a method to keep
adolescents not typically interested in team sports
interested in exercise. Incorporating yoga in the
school setting could provide a more interesting
alternative to a typical physical education class. ❍
