Yoga-Informed Educational Leadership: A Holistic Model For Regenerative Learning Environments
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In Nigeria, where yoga is largely unknown and underused, recent socio-economic challenges- including inflation, burnout, and growing mental health challenges – make the need for a change in educational leadership model apparent. This paper projects a yoga-informed approach to educational leadership as a full, invigorative model for planning sustainable learning environments. Rooted in the incorporation of yoga philosophy, physical postures, and breathwork, the model lays emphasis on the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. It seeks to promote self-awareness, stability, mindfulness, and compassion among both teachers and students. This approach aims to change educational planning by enhancing physical and mental well-being, resilience; analytical thinking and social responsibility in ways that are both contextually relevant and human-centered.
