Yoga as a Treatment and Prevention for Mental Health Issues Among Teens
Started May 25, 2023
Abstract or project description
The first portion of the study will focus on the mental health epidemic in adolescents and how there needs to be further developments in addressing this topic. We will then segway into yoga and the overall benefits. We will explore clinical studies that translate into an efficacy management of symptoms. Lastly, we will propose the implementation of yoga in a high school curriculum. This could be used as a better management for stress and anxiety based off previous studies.
