|a This study investigated the effects of exposure to yoga on the academic problems (memory, attention, and learning) of students with learning disabilities (LD) and students at-risk for reading failure. The design consisted of a single group, pre/post-test design including 31 participants between the ages of 7 to 11 from an urban, mostly Afro American, elementary school. All students were administered the Learning Efficiency Test – II (LET-II), a measure of memory, prior to and following the intervention. Students’ teachers were asked to complete the Behavior Assessment Scale for Children – Second Edition (BASC-2), a measure of teacher perception of student attention problems and learning problems, before and after the intervention. All students were invited to attend 10 after-school yoga classes for 45 min. per session. However, many students attended a fewer number of classes. It was found that exposure to yoga increases auditory short-term memory for students with LD and students at-risk for reading failure. It is suggested that this study be replicated with alternate assessments, a larger sample, more sessions, a longer period of instruction, and a control group before significant findings can be generalized to the population. |
