Yoga in public school improves adolescent mood and affect

Forty-seven high school students were assessed for mood and affect immediately before and after participating in a single yoga class and a single PE class one week later. Participants reported significantly greater decreases in anger, depression, and fatigue after participating in yoga as compared to standard PE classes.
