ABSTRACT

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of mental wellness in educational settings. Yoga and meditation, traditional practices rooted in mindfulness and physical wellness, are increasingly being integrated into modern educational curricula as tools to enhance students’ mental health, emotional well-being, and academic performance. This research paper explores the role of yoga and meditation in modern education, examining their benefits, challenges, and the ways they are being incorporated into various educational systems globally. By reviewing existing literature, empirical studies, and case examples, this paper aims to highlight the positive impact of these practices on students’ cognitive, emotional, and social development, and advocate for their continued inclusion in contemporary education.
