Abstract

Education takes place when, the person is open to any new learning experience at  any age, time and place with an open mind. The person who is open to learn Yoga,  he has to go through all the stages and learn all the aspects. The system of educating  children has to be different. It has to be combined with certain practices which can  remove their psychological blocks, which can make them aware of the psychological  changes that happen in their body and brain, which can make them aware of their own  distractions and which can give them the ability to focus on the theme of the subject  they are studying. Yoga has been shown to improve memory in adults and children, a  benefit that would seem certain to improve academic performance. The importance of  an education in the ancient art and science of Yoga is undeniable. Yoga education can  supplement school and university education. It can prepare the students physically and  mentally for the integration of their physical, mental and spiritual faculties so that the  students can become healthier, saner and more integrated members of the society and  of the nation.
