International journal of yoga January 1, 2024 Parth Rajesh Pandya 2 citations
Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation technique, shows promise for addressing pediatric behavioral concerns such as anxiety, hyperactivity, and emotional dysregulation. This review examines potential mechanisms behind its effects and existing research on psychological impacts, including stress reduction, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and sleep quality. Parallels are drawn with hypnosis as another mind-body technique. The review advocates for further investigation of Yoga Nidra as a noninvasive intervention for promoting positive child development, noting that traditional interventions like behavioral modification or medication have varying success and side effects.
