Incorporating yoga into teacher education has a profound impact on individual well-being, educational innovation and societal development. As a holistic practice that encompasses physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, yoga is crucial in addressing the challenges of the modern education system. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating yoga into a teacher education program, focusing on yoga’s potential to transform the educational experience of teachers and students.

Academic and Professional Development: 

Incorporating yoga into teacher training can improve educators’ self-awareness, emotion regulation, and stress management skills, giving them the resilience and awareness to handle the complexities of today’s classrooms. Additionally, yoga promotes clarity of thought, which is essential for effective teaching and decision-making.

Learner-Centered Pedagogy:

Yoga-trained teachers are more likely to practice holistic and inclusive teaching methods, fostering a supportive and engaging classroom environment. Integrating yoga principles into pedagogy can promote mindfulness and emotional intelligence in students, improving their focus, behavior, and academic performance. 

Social impact: 

Incorporating yoga into teacher training is in line with global efforts to promote mental health and well-being, such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 on good health and well-being. Competent yoga teachers can act as catalysts to promote these values in their communities, thereby contributing to building healthier, more balanced societies.

Promoting health and wellness: 

Teaching is a stressful profession, so yoga offers a preventative approach to physical and mental health issues. Yoga teacher training reduces burnout, absenteeism, and turnover, providing a stable and motivated workforce. 

Preservation of Cultural and Historical Heritage:

Integrating yoga into teacher training also enhances its cultural relevance by preserving the rich tradition and adapting it to its contemporary relevance. It promotes understanding of the philosophical roots of yoga, fostering a deeper understanding of cultural heritage among educators and students.

Political research and results:

This study provides information based on the actual data of politicians and program developers playing for yoga programs composed of education education. We distinguish the advanced practice of implementation, evaluate potential problems, and provide global implementation evolution models. 

Expected results:

• Improved the effectiveness of teachers and personal happiness.

• Improvement of student academic and social results. 

• Mindfulness and wellness practices will be widely introduced into society.

• Strengthening the connection between traditional knowledge systems and modern education. 

This study contributes to the evolving discussion on education reform by demonstrating yoga as a transformative tool for empowering educators and shaping future generations.
