Summary

This pilot study tested a 12-week yoga program in 15 children with Down syndrome aged 7–12. The program included adapted poses, breathing, and relaxation exercises. Researchers measured balance and functional performance using digital sensors and movement tests. The goal was to see if yoga could help with common issues like poor balance and low muscle tone.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, fun way to help children with Down syndrome improve their balance and daily movement.
What could go wrong
