“…Low-income adolescents who were tested positive for HIV received an ageappropriate version of MBSR and reported reduced hostility and physical and emotional discomfort (Sibinga, Kerrigan, Stewart, Johnson, Magyari, & Ellen, 2011). A mindful yoga intervention in an underserved, elementary-age population effectively reduced involuntary stress reactions, such as rumination, intrusive thoughts, and emotional arousal (Gould, Dariotis, Mendelson, & Greenberg, 2012;Mendelson, Greenberg, Dariotis, Gould, Rhoades, & Leaf, 2010). Similarly, a 12-session MBSR program for 7th and 8th grade boys in a low-income area resulted in less anxiety and rumination, and cortisol levels remained stable rather than increasing through the academic term, when compared with those receiving a health education course (Sibinga, Perry-Parrish, Chung, Johnson, Smith, & Ellen, 2013).…”
