ROLE OF ASHTANGA YOGA IN ALL-ROUND DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDENT

Abstract

This chapter explores various aspects of Ashtanga yoga, alongside broader elements of yoga practice and the challenges it addresses. It also delves into the history and influence of diverse disciplines on students' lives. The importance of yoga practice for students, particularly in conjunction with their study of general subjects, is examined to provide insights into how yoga philosophy impacts physical development, mental resilience, emotional stability, and the ability to focus—especially in today’s era of rapid knowledge expansion. Additionally, this discussion offers guidance on integrating yoga education with academic subjects, enabling educators to better support students across all levels of learning.
