Introduction and literature review: Fostering self-regulation through mindful yoga for middle schoolers

Self-regulation is one kind of behavior that has been utilized in primary prevention programs to develop positive behaviors
Bergen-Cico et al. (2015) note in their literature review that “Self-regulation is a key protective factor highlighted by extant prevention research, as it represents a critical asset for healthy development.”
Past literature has demonstrated that mindfulness and self-regulation are related, and in turn mindfulness can cultivate self-regulation
There have been few randomized control studies that examine mindfulness interventions and self-regulation for children and adolescents . This study seeks to fill a gap in the literature
Past research has illustrated the connection between mindfulness practice and processes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and “development of regulatory circuits” in the prefrontal cortex. The HPA axis is vital to stress response
Yoga utilizes physical movement to create mindful awareness, meaning it could be especially helpful in crafting self-regulation o Yoga has been shown to have mental and physical benefits for children and adolescents
