Summary
A 12-week mindfulness and yoga intervention for youth in urban schools was assessed for feasibility and influence on involuntary stress responses, depressive symptoms, and peer relations. The program was feasibile and acceptable to students and teachers, and students who participated in mindfulness had significantly fewer involuntary stress responses than controls.
