Yoga: A bridge between generations, promoting wellness for both youth and elderly citizens.
Faced with rising anxiety, academic pressure, and negative social environments, South Africa’s education sector is turning to an ancient practice to anchor its youth.
As university and TVET college students confront severe mental health challenges that have had tragic consequences in recent years, government officials and wellness advocates are championing a bold initiative: integrating yoga directly into the classroom.
Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training Dr Nomusa Dube-Ncube said the gathering comes at a critical moment in history, as the world is filled with deep uncertainty. She cited that across the world there is severe conflict and a massive migration crisis.
She said that in South Africa, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal, these pressures are felt directly.
