Six-month follow-up of a mindfulness yoga program, MiYoga, on attention, executive function, behaviour and physical outcomes in cerebral palsy.

Conclusion: This study identified possible delayed or sleeper effects in children's executive function and physical function and parent's well-being.Implications for rehabilitation6-month follow-up evidence for retention of effects of MiYoga on children's attention was inconsistent; therefore, booster sessions or continued practice of MiYoga as a lifestyle option are needed to maintain an effect on attention.Because MiYoga can be practised during daily activities, it may provide additional support for children with CP, complementing standard rehabilitation options.By embedding mindfulness in children and parents' daily activities, MiYoga, could provide families with accessible and time-efficient means of learning and practicing mindfulness.
