YOGA AND PSYCHOTHERAPY IN EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

As education systems globally evolve to emphasize holistic development, integrating mental health strategies such as yoga and psychotherapy into educational settings has become increasingly significant. These approaches can foster emotional regulation, stress management, and self-awareness among students and educators alike. This paper explores the integration of yoga and psychotherapy in educational institutions, examining their theoretical underpinnings, empirical benefits, implementation challenges, and future opportunities. The research aims to present a framework for combining these practices to promote mental well-being and academic success in schools and universities.
