dc.description.abstract	The aim of this study was to explore the influence of yoga on learners with ADHD. In order to reach the aim of this study, an initial literature study was executed to describe ADHD and the practice of yoga. Particular aspects such as concentration, anxiety, self-esteem and aggression were highlighted. Semi-structured interviews with parents, teachers, learners and one yoga instructor were used to conduct the empirical study. Valuable data was also collected from the learners using projection tests and self-esteem questionnaires. Assessments were conducted at two points: during the situation analysis and at the outcome of the yoga intervention. Based on the data collected and analysed, findings were made and conclusions were drawn regarding the influence of yoga on learners with ADHD focusing on the aspects of concentration, anxiety, self-esteem and aggression. Recommendations for future research were then proposed.	en
