This study systematically examines the role of yoga and meditation in school education with a focus on student well-being, cognitive development, and social-emotional learning. A structured review approach was adopted using defined inclusion criteria and recent peer-reviewed literature. Findings indicate consistent improvements in attention, emotional regulation, classroom behavior, and stress reduction, although variability exists across contexts. A conceptual framework is proposed linking mind-body practices with educational outcomes. The paper emphasizes implementation fidelity, teacher training, and cultural neutrality as key success factors.
