Yoga for Your Students
Improved focus and involvement in one's physical education class are just a few of the many benefits that yoga can provide to students. Yoga, the art of bringing together the body and mind for improved strength, flexibility, and self-esteem, can also help decrease stress levels, improve academic performance, and self-confidence in school children. Yoga can be an effective way to help school children be more active, relieve stress, and enjoy a non-competitive and non-judgmental atmosphere that encourages movement and learning. It provides experiences that help improve mental alertness, academic performance, readiness to learn, and enthusiasm for learning. In addition, yoga is an exciting way to bring an innovative life-long activity into one's physical education curriculum and appeal to students who may not participate fully in traditional sports-related activities. In this article, the author discusses the results of a study which investigates yoga instruction and student outcome variables at The Accelerated School in South Central in Los Angeles which is conducted by California State University.

The effect of aerobic physical activity on anxiety and alcohol consumption in deaf and hard of hearing college students
This study was conducted to examine changes in state and trait anxiety and alcohol consumption as a result of participation in aerobic physical education classes in deaf and hard of hearing undergraduates. Two hundred sixty five undergraduates enrolled at Gallaudet University comprises the study sample. There were 116 students in the physical education activity group, 82 students in the control group not engaged in physical activity, and 67 students in the comparison group who engaged in other forms of physical activity such as athletics and intramurals. Participants completed the study questionnaire three times over the course of an academic semester. The study questionnaire included average weekly alcohol consumption, binge drinking episodes, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES), and a physical activity recall. The results indicated the participation in aerobic physical education classes by deaf and hard of hearing students did not significantly decrease average weekly alcohol consumption patterns, binge drinking episodes, state anxiety, and trait anxiety. The results indicated the importance of enjoyment of exercise in relationship to time spent in exercise, state and trait anxiety.
Dissertation
OLDER ADULTS SAY YES TO YOGA
Tummers and Hendrick discuss the participation of older adults in yoga classes. Scientific research concerning yoga for adults has shown it to be effective therapy for asthma, lipid profiles, anxiety, arthritis, blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, headaches and other disorders. The style of yoga emphasized for the older adult is an active- or fitness-based form of yoga that provides the traditional western model of a total fitness program with cardiovascular fitness, resistance training for muscle strength and bone health, flexibility for functional range of motion and relaxation in each class.
