Brief summary: The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of different exercises programs as 'Yoga' and 'Home Exercise' in Enthesitis Related Arthritis.

Detailed description: Enthesitis is the localized inflammation in the attachments of muscles, ligaments, fascia to bone. Enthesitis related arthritis is a sub-form of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and primarily lower extremities, spine, and sacroiliac joints. In the literature, exercise therapy is found beneficial to improve bone density, muscle strength and functionality without leading adverse effects in these children.

Recently yoga has emerged as a new exercise approach which consist of both physical an mental components to improve self-awareness and mindfulness. However, the effects of yoga did not investigated in JIA patients. The only evidence is a case study which reports improvements in pain and stiffness in a child with JIA.
