The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, introduced after a gap of 34 years, marks a significant shift towards a holistic and learner-centric education system in India. One of its most commendable aspects is the emphasis on students’ mental, physical, emotional, and social well-being. Education is no longer viewed as mere accumulation of information but as a process of developing the mind and body to their fullest potential. Mental health and well-being are closely linked to academic success and overall quality of life. Mentally healthy students are better equipped to achieve developmental milestones, maintain healthy social relationships, and cope with challenges. Yoga, as an ancient Indian knowledge system, plays a vital role in promoting mental balance, physical fitness, emotional stability, and self-discipline. Teachers can significantly contribute to student well-being by integrating yoga practices into education and creating a positive, motivating learning environment.
