Asperger syndrome, is neuro condition characterized by poor social and communication skills, patients may talk a lot, but fail to focus and keep up with the subject and also have a very narrow interest as they may talk about only one single subject for months or years.

Some children with Asperger syndrome may also engage in repetitive behaviour such as flagging hand.

In the study of a 7-year-old boy with Apert and Asperger's syndrome attended 8, 45 min multisensory yoga sessions, twice a week, during 4-week camp conducted by the Texas State University, researchers filed the following result

1. Yoga participated showed a significant improvement in the total score changes from 19 to 7 for disruptive behaviors.

2. The child after yoga class also displayed a changed from showing progression in ability to stay on task of subjects, observed by Sparks Target Behavior Checklist scores
3. Yoga Pose Rating Scale examined by demonstrated the transformation in total scores also improved from 80 = emerging to 115 = consistency in pose performance.

Researchers after taking into account of other confounders indicated that the improvement of behavior and subjects focused may be attributed to the positive development in expressive emotions, social engagement, and decline in looking around attitude.

Furthermore, conversation with child parents also revealed that child has shown a strong improvement of ability to self-regulate stress using lion's breath and super brain.

Dr. Scroggins ML, the lead author said, "These findings indicate an improvement in behaviors that influenced the physical performance, emotional expression, and social interaction after yoga training for this child".

In further differentiation of the effect of yoga in children with brain development disorders, researchers at the joint study lead by the Oregon Health and Science University launched a study to investigate whether yoga mind-body therapies have any implication on symptoms of Social and communication skills and repetitive behavior in children with autism by reviewing literature published on data base of PubMed, PsychInfo, and Scopus, showed that all qualified studies expressed an improvement of mind-body therapies in associated outcomes of behavior, psychological symptoms, and quality of life.

In fact, children with disruptive or inappropriate behaviors probably is a result of psychological effects in induced inappropriate sensory input caused by anxiety, frustration and difficult emotional expression.

Yoga physical postures, according to instructors provide a valuably integrated tool to reduce anxiety and support sensory regulation which may improve emotional and behavioral regulation.

Further more, the physical posture learned from yoga along with breathing can calm and relax the nervous system in controlled impulsive behaviors and motion.


Some yoga instructors also suggested that the calming and relaxing effect by yoga exercise in physical posture along with breathing strategy may also improve concentration though calming the mind of the children with Asperger syndrome and getting rid of distracting thoughts and, thus improving concentration

Additionally, long term yoga regular practice also reduced stress, anxiety and tension, thus promoting relaxation and calmness which have been found to have strong impact in concentration, reduced impulsive and inappropriate behaviors and improved emotional expression.

In a distant further, the strong implication of regular yoga practice also improved the brain performance by keeping the mind active and sharp, particularly in resolved daily problems.

Although all studies were conducted in a small same size and uncontrollable design, they would benefit from larger randomized controlled trials.

The findings indicated that yoga taught by experts may be considered as secondary therapeutic treatment used conjunction with standard therapy in reduced system expression and treatment of Asperger syndrome.
