Yoga for ADHD Classes for Kids | Cadabam’s CDC
Quick Intro: Why Yoga for ADHD? Yoga for ADHD isn’t just calming—it’s clinically powerful. A 90-second science snapshot: peer-reviewed studies show that twice-weekly yoga sessions reduce inattention by 30% and hyperactivity by 26% within eight weeks. How? Controlled breathing boosts dopamine, while balance poses strengthen the pre-frontal cortex responsible for self-control. Best of all, yoga complements stimulant medication and behavioural therapy rather than replacing them, creating a holistic support plan your child can enjoy.
