Schools play a pivotal role in providing students with the opportunity to gain greater social and emotional awareness and to practice interpersonal skills as they learn and grow, and to thrive in the face of negative events, challenges or adversity. Value-based education has now come to the fore, as we need to examine the education context to address important elements such as values, morals, principles, ethics, beliefs, as they embrace all domains of the child’s life – physical, emotional, vital, dynamic, intellectual, ethical and aesthetic.
In order to equip our children to face moral conundrums in the future, we must foster personal and social codes of conduct, and instill principles of prohibitions and abstentions to help them decipher the right from wrong. Therefore, true education must reveal what is already present in the ‘developing being’ and enable them to naturally blossom in joy and luminous kindliness, which encourages the good.
The efficacy of yoga as an intervention technique prevails in its ability to help children develop a sense of equanimity. Yoga is not only a process for leading towards astounding hidden personality of human being by bringing mastery over the body, mind, intellect and emotional faculties, but also a powerful tool to manifest the potential within one-self. Yoga is an art of living, as it improves quality of life, a healthy life with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, and leads to overall holistic development of body and mind.
