Abstract

Abstract : This pilot study examined an 8‐week yoga‐mindfulness intervention with girls in the juvenile justice system. Pre‐ and posttest data were collected via the Mindful Awareness and Attention Scale for Adolescents (MAAS‐A). Paired t tests demonstrated a significant increase in mean MAAS‐A scores.
