Integration of Yoga in School Education:

Be it any subject a teacher should emphasise on inculcation of ethical values amongst students while planning out the subject matter to be taught.

Swami Kuvalayananda

There is a growing interest among educational agencies in ‘school-based yoga’. The New National Educational Policy 2020 has suggested incorporating yoga into physical education, in addition, incorporating yoga-based value education is crucial for fostering harmony between oneself, society, and nature.

The idea of incorporating Yoga into school education is a recent development, though compelling research in this field is increasingly available. While Yoga has yielded benefits for one’s physical well-being, such as correcting posture and enhancing immunity, it is acknowledged that it can also positively impact cognitive and emotional learning. Yoga can help students navigate emotional and social obstacles within the school environment by developing self-regulation.

विद्ययाऽमृतमश्नुते
Knowledge Leads to Immortality

The essence of education is the concentration of the mind. Education is the training of the mind to focus on an object of knowledge uninterruptedly. In this age and era of information and technology, it is a big challenge for children to have clarity and focus on real learning. In order to excel in any field, it is crucial to possess a stress-free state of mind and maintain good physical health. Yoga, an age-old practice that encompasses both the body and mind, offers an effective solution to address this very concern.

The idea of incorporating Yoga into school education is a recent development, though compelling research in this field is increasingly available. While Yoga has yielded benefits for one’s physical well-being, such as correcting posture and enhancing immunity, it is acknowledged that it can also positively impact cognitive and emotional learning. Yoga can help students navigate emotional and social obstacles within the school environment by developing self-regulation.

There is a growing interest among educational agencies in ‘school-based yoga’. The New National Educational Policy 2020 has suggested incorporating yoga into physical education, in addition, incorporating yoga-based value education is crucial for fostering harmony between oneself, society, and nature.

Yoga has been recommended for inclusion in school and higher education curricula for over a decade, but it has yet to be widely and fully implemented. Stakeholders involved in incorporating yoga into school curricula have faced various challenges in effectively implementing policies. One potential solution for this challenge is utilizing the well established Yoga compendium. However, other challenges still exist in implementing yoga-based learning in schools.

What are the Challenges and
How can they be Addressed?

Vision

Furthering Swami Kuvalayanandaji’s ideologies of introducing yogic values in children at an early age we promote the integration of yoga in school education nationwide and to contribute to the overall well-being and holistic development of students

Mission

To bring together a group of specialists in education and yoga to create a comprehensive approach that caters to the needs of the entire school community, fostering a nurturing and enriching educational environment, marking the 99th Foundation Day and initiate centenary celebrations of Kaivalyadhama

Goal

Explore innovative methodologies that encourage experiential learning of yoga, and promote mindful practices to enhance concentration, focus, and memory retention in students and focus on holistic development, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being for all stakeholders in the education system

Join Us

In this important endeavour to shape the future of education and empower our
schools with the transformative power of yoga.
