Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) frequently persists into adulthood and is associated with impairments in attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and psychosocial functioning. Pharmacological therapies, although effective, may not be suitable or well tolerated by all individuals. Yoga-based mindfulness interventions have gained attention as complementary, non-pharmacological strategies for symptom management.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of a 4-week yoga-based mindfulness training program on attention and hyperactivity in adults with ADHD, and to assess its impact on emotional regulation and perceived stress compared with standard care.

Methods: This pilot randomized controlled study included eight adults aged 18–40 years diagnosed with ADHD using the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1). Participants were randomly allocated to either a yoga-based mindfulness intervention group (n=4) or a standard care control group (n=4). The intervention consisted of supervised yoga postures and breathing practices conducted twice weekly for four weeks. Outcomes were assessed using ASRS v1.1, Conners’ Continuous Performance Test (CPT), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Anthropometric and vital parameters were also recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests.

Results: Participants in the intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in attention and reduction in hyperactivity/impulsivity scores on ASRS (p=0.043) and CPT parameters (p=0.0075) compared with the control group. Improvements were observed in emotional regulation and perceived stress scores; however, these did not reach statistical significance. No significant changes were noted in anthropometric or vital parameters.
