An exploratory cluster-randomized controlled trial on mindfulness yoga’s effectiveness in school-refusing children: reductions in SCAS-C physical injury fears and pulse rate
This study indicated the safety of a mindfulness yoga intervention for children with school refusal, but the effectiveness of the intervention for anxiety was limited. Further research is needed to determine the long-term effects of yoga and how it can best be integrated with other therapies.
