Yoga poses promise for kids struggling with clumsiness and stress
NCT ID NCT07547514
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a structured yoga program can help children aged 7–11 with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) — a condition that makes everyday tasks like tying shoes or catching a ball hard. Forty children took part to see if yoga could improve their movement, attention, and stress levels. The goal was to find a fun, drug-free way to support their development.
