Abstract

Objective: This article attempts to address the de-accelerating issues and challenges faced by adolescence students in high schools and assess the impact of Yoga on the young minds optimizing their academic concentration. Concentration is an important cognitive function of the human brain which is vital for the young knowledge seeker. Methodology: The present article approached the ‘middle adolescent’ students (N=212) consisting of Bordumsa Circle (n¹=62) in Arunachal Pradesh and Margherita Block (n²=150) of Assam, respectively through a mixed method research design to comprehensively examine the conception of high school students aging between 14-16 years. Findings: The study found that 79% adolescence affected by low self-esteem; 74.19% have shown issues with good moral behaviour; 70.96% were able to understand and accept the growth and development taking place in one’s life; 67.74% experience of behavioural disorders; 61.29% were affected by learning disorders; and 64.3 % accepted that through practicing regular yoga it optimizes academic concentration. Conclusion and Suggestion: Overlooking the utility of yoga in such contexts would create an ‘Achilles Heel’ in the education system of today which aims at the overall development of the students. The study can assist learners, parents, school administrators, educationists as well as for futuristic scope of research.
