Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the educational ecosystem, yet they often face significant stress, burnout, and wellness challenges impacting both their health and professional quality. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 of India emphasizes holistic development and mental well-being of all stakeholders, including teachers. This study explores the role of Yoga as a wellness intervention for teachers within the NEP framework. The research investigates the impact of regular yoga practices on physical health, psychological well-being, stress management, and professional performance among school teachers. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data from 200 teachers across urban and rural schools were analyzed. Findings suggest that yoga significantly enhances teachers’ physical and mental health, improves workplace productivity, and aligns with NEP’s wellness goals. Policy implications and recommendations for integration of yoga in teacher professional development programs are provided.
