Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of trauma-adapted yoga as a complementary intervention to care as usual in child and adolescents psychiatry clinics, in the population of adolescents with the diagnosis of ADHD and/or PTSD. We hypothesize that trauma-adapted yoga (TAY) is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for adolescent with ADHD and/or PTSD. Aims: (1) Validate the impact of TAY on the mental health \& quality of life of adolescents with ADHD and/or PTSD. (2) Investigate the feasibility of online TAY for continued self-care. (3) Explore adolescents' experiences \& parental perspectives on TAY in their treatment. (4) Explore healthcare professionals' experience on the integration of TAY into clinical practice. Within and between group (yoga group vs waiting list) analyses will be performed.

Interventions

OTHERTrauma-adapted yoga

Trauma-adapted-yoga (TAY) classes The classes, which span eight weeks with a once-a-week frequency, each last approximately 45-50 minutes. These small group classes are structured in a semi-circle arrangement to create a sense of security and empowerment for the participants. The teaching approach is trauma-sensitive, characterized by its inviting nature, provision of choices when facing challenges (A-B choices), and direction toward tangible physical sensations to enhance interoceptive awareness. Each yoga session follows a structured sequence of activities designed to promote participants' well-being and physiological awareness. Online TAY classes After eight weeks, adolescents in the yoga group can continue their practice online. Exclusive to previous in-person participants, they'll receive a link for recorded classes and they will have the possibility to contact their health care contact any time.
