ADHD
or “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder”
is a chronic disorder that has adverse effects on an individual's health,
ranging from low academic performances to lack of social skills resulting in
strained relations with others. It is a long-term disorder and often people
suffering from ADHD face a nervous breakdown as a result of the many symptoms.
Though,
these behavioral disorders can be controlled by prescribed medical procedure or
with the help of some therapists, but curing it permanently is a matter of
concern till date. But Yoga as a healing activity has helped resolve this
particular concern. In the recent years, there has been an avid interest in
meditation as a possible treatment alternative for psychological conditions.
Basic Yoga asanas and Pranayama can help ADHD children to control the attention
deficit problem in a natural manner. Let
us look at the benefits of Yoga for ADHD sufferers.
Yoga as a controller
Yoga
harmonizes the balance between the body, mind and soul. It energizes the body
and helps you control your actions in a better way. It keeps in check your
breathing rate, muscular actions as well as maintains the emotional balance. It
helps the body to relax and be at ease which further accelerates the calmness
in your actions and reduce ADHD symptoms to a great extent.
Yoga boosts confidence
and improves performance
Confidence
level is required in every field - educational or professional. ADHD can lower
your confidence to a great extent and leads to insufficient performance in
academics as well as the professional sphere. Yoga has been beneficial in
boosting the confidence levels and enhances the social skills of ADHD
sufferers. It is the best remedy to minimize the effects of ADHD. Children who
perform Yoga on a daily basis show greater response in term of decrease in hyperactivity.
Yoga reduces stress
Stress
is one of the main causes of ADHD. It leads to a disturbed mind which further
reduces our focus and attention span. Yoga helps overcome the stress and
relaxes the body. It prevents the mind from being disturbed and thus
ameliorates focus. Certain breathing exercises are effective in improving the
stress levels and other added benefits nullify the effects of ADHD for greater
control over the ailment.

It’s
important since most people suffering from ADHD problems are hyperactive which
means they need greater activity and movement to keep them occupied. Children
especially get high-strung; hence try to include poses that are high on
movement and energy. Create a routine for your child and aid them to stick to
it. Formulate a healthy exercise routine and some time allotted just for
relaxation and meditation. You can deal
with the problem of ADHD with minimum medication and treatment if you perform Yoga
religiously. Yoga is a natural treatment option to treat and heal such
prolonged and extenuated disorder. It is the best remedy to control ADHD until
you are in greater control of your mind body balance.
