Abstract

Yoga attitude refers to the various psychological reactions that people can have to yoga. It refers to the benefits of yoga in terms of people's harmonious well-being of body, mind, and spirit. Yoga is known for its method for developing a dynamic body, enriching the mind, and elevating the spirit. Keeping this in mind, the current study sought to investigate students' and teachers' attitudes toward yoga. The current study's total sample consists of 73 male and 127 female students and teachers, with appropriate gender representation. Using a random sampling technique, data was collected from students and teachers at a B.Ed. college in Theni District. For data collection, Mahesh Kumar Michal’s Yoga Attitude Scale (YAS– M) was used. The data was statistically treated using the Mean, SD, Frequency distribution, percentage, and independent 't' test. The study's findings indicate that gender has a significant impact on attitudes toward yoga. Male secondary school students were found to have a more positive attitude toward yoga than female students and teachers.
