Abstract

Anxiety disorders are the most common mood disorders among the pediatric population with between six and 13 percent of children and adolescents diagnosed annually in the United States (Ramsawh, Chavira, & Stein, 2010). Recently, yoga has been used as a clinical practice providing a sense of calm to combat anxiety. This article reviews the current research on yoga and mindfulness techniques that can be applied in brief settings, such as integrated behavioral health and school settings.
