Education is the transmission of civilization. It is the chief defense of a
country. Educationalists around the globe have defined education in different ways
at different times in human history. Aristotle "defined education as the creation of a
sound mind in a sound body". Nothing can be as important as children because
they are the future of the world. How they grow up will depend on the basic
education they get from elementary school. The teaching and learning process is no
more confined to the four walls of a classroom. As the great thinker Walter Dill
Scott says once people were driven - now they are inspired". So learning is gaining
knowledge through experience.
Yoga is a Sanskrit word. It means linking or union. The science that
deals with the coordination of the three components, namely body, mind, and soul
in a proper manner with a definite purpose are called yoga. Yoga is a science of life
to develop the potential attributes to its fullness and to enable and equip man to
enjoy a peaceful and blissful life.2 It is the art of understanding all about the soul
which is the life force and realizing its relationship with the body, the world, and
the universe. It is the art of maintaining harmony with one another and finally
merging with the universal soul. Yoga is a systematic spiritual practice to improve
awareness to develop willpower and realize the self.
