A specially designed Integrated Approach to Yoga Therapy module was applied to Autism Spectrum Disorders over a period of two academic years. Despite low numbers (six in each arm), consistency and magnitude of effects make the findings significant. Parental participation, allowing firm guidance to be given to each child, resulted in significant improvements in imitation and other skills, and in behavior at home and family relationships. We hypothesize that guided imitation of therapist body positions stimulated mirror neuron activation, resulting in improved sense of self.
一种专门设计的瑜伽治疗综合方法模块在两个学年的时间里应用于自闭症谱系障碍患者。尽管样本数量较少（每组六人），但效果的一致性和程度使研究结果具有重要意义。家长的参与使得能够对每个孩子进行坚定的指导，从而在模仿和其他技能、家庭行为及家庭关系方面取得了显著改善。我们推测，对治疗师身体姿势的引导式模仿刺激了镜像神经元的激活，从而改善了自我意识。
