Such children have now been given yoga and breathing exercises in special classes, which have increased their calmness and attention.

Dr. Sergei Kaislev, a specialist in the laboratory of brain and neurology at the university, says that children with ADHD have a system that regulates brain activity. This causes them to become confused and distracted over and over again.

The scientists seated the children in a group and gave them deep breathing exercises. It improves oxygen and blood flow to the brain and calms the nerves. In addition, yoga has been shown to reduce physical stress and bring relief to children.
