Clinical Trial Description

The overall aim of this project is to ascertain the effects of Little Flower Yoga for Kids, a promising yoga and mindfulness program for children developed by Jennifer Cohen Harper, MA, E-RCYT, which incorporates five elements (connect, breathe, move, focus, relax) to improve the child's ability to sustain attention and regulate emotions. While research supports that yoga programs and mindfulness programs yield positive outcomes on numerous factors, there are no independent studies presently examining the effects of a combined yoga and mindfulness intervention (like Little Flower Yoga for Kids) on both emotion regulation and sustained attention. The investigators propose conducting an initial evaluation of Little Flower Yoga for Kids in a small sample of 18-30 Kindergarten and First Grade students (3-5 per class) enrolled in Girls Preparatory Charter School of the Bronx. Little Flower Yoga for Kids is currently part of the curriculum at Girls Preparatory Charter School of the Bronx and implemented by Kelli Love, M.Ed., 500 RYT, received her certification from the Little Flower Yoga for Kids Teacher Training Program. Specifically, the investigators will conduct a preliminary trial with a sample of 5-7 year olds (Kindergarten/First Grade), who meet a predetermined threshold of having either emotional regulation and/or attentional difficulties, to determine the effects of Little Flower Yoga for Kids on sustained attention and emotion regulation. Measures of these outcomes will occur at initial participant screener, baseline, mid-treatment (4.5 months after the start of the program), and post-treatment (after 9 months). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
