Abstract: This paper offers an interpretive and scholarly discussion on how yoga contributes to the mental and physical well-being of teacher educators. Drawing upon contemporary academic insights, the article explores yoga’s influence on depression, anxiety, stress regulation, physical strength, cardiovascular efficiency, and respiratory functioning. While existing research presents encouraging results, many studies continue to suffer from limitations such as small participant groups, varied intervention practices, and inconsistent assessment tools. These gaps make it difficult to reach firm conclusions. The article therefore underscores the need for systematic, large-scale studies focusing specifically on teacher educators, so that yoga may be more effectively implemented as an accessible, sustainable, and supportive approach to professional and personal wellness.

Keywords: Yoga, Well-Being, Teacher Educators, Mental Health, Physical Health.
