Cultivating Health and Happiness in Teachers Through Yoga

I. RATIONALE:
Research has revealed that over a third of education professionals are expected to
leave their job by 2020, highlighting the importance of teacher mental health and the need to
address this crisis. According to a recent study, more than half of Britain’s teachers have a
diagnosed mental health problem, with 76% of education professionals experiencing
behavioural, psychological or physical symptoms due to their work in the last year.
(www.openaccessgovernment.org)
Teacher mental health issues are important because they not only have a detrimental
influence on teachers themselves but also directly affect classroom outcomes. One study into
this showed that 77% of teachers felt poor mental health was having a damaging effect on
pupil mental health, and 85% said that it adversely affected the quality of lesson planning.
In order to tackle the crisis head-on, school leaders need to build open and supportive
wellbeing cultures. With a recent study showing that almost one-third of UK employees claim
that they do not feel comfortable talking to their manager about mental health problems for
fear of being judged, this is clearly a pressing issue. By adopting ‘open-door’ policies, and
encouraging staff to share their issues, school leaders can ensure that problems can be
appropriately addressed. A mentoring or buddy system could also be implemented– with this
being especially useful for new members of staff, a high-risk group for mental health problems.
Others initiative such as wellbeing surveys, training staff as mental health first aiders, and a
provision of personal mental health guidance during teacher training are also all ways to
achieve this.
Workload is the most cited cause of mental health problems and the main reason for
teachers leaving. Therefore, schools that offer arrangements such as job-sharing will find it far
easier to retain staff and alleviate some of the problems around this. While the DfE has been
working to develop strategies to help schools manage workload, there are still some methods
leaders can implement right now. For instance, setting limits on after-school meetings and
ensuring that only relevant staff are present, making sure employees take break and lunch
times, and not setting expectations for immediate email responses, or even restricting the
hours when emails can be sent, will all go some way towards helping. (Baljinder Kuller)
Small things can make a change: There are many different approaches that school
leaders can take in order to alleviate the mental health crisis, and there really is no ‘Holy
Grail.’ People will all react differently to certain methods, making the best approach to build
open and supportive cultures which allow help to start with the individual and work out what
suits them best. However, this does not mean that schools shouldn’t try as many things as
possible, and there are certain methods which are both very beneficial for mental health, and
easy to put into action. By making small positive adjustments, over the long term, meaningful
change can occur for teachers, students, and school leaders.
A LAC Session on Cultivating Health and Happiness in Teachers Through Yoga is
needed by the teachers. Offering extra training and development to staff is often
REGION I
recommended as a method to boost retention, with studies showing higher levels of effective
training have been proven to reduce the desire to move schools. One paper indicated that
improving professional development by just one standard deviation shows a 63% reduction in
the chance that a teacher will move to another school. With the evidence showing that training
and development opportunities make teachers more likely to stay at a school, therefore
suggesting that they feel content and settled, school leaders should actively encourage staff to
regularly participate in trainings and seminars.
II. OVERVIEW:
This session aims to explore the benefits of yoga in promoting the physical, mental,
and emotional well-being of teachers. Through a combination of theory and practice,
participants will learn how yoga techniques can help reduce stress, improve resilience, and
enhance overall happiness.
Bacsil Elementary School educators need to reduce stress in education, in response to
the continuous challenges and overload work which educators facing in they every day lives.
DepEd Order No.35 s.2016 mandated the conduct of School LAC Session to allow teachers to
collaborate their thoughts, skills and practices respectively.
The ultimate goal of School Learning Action Cell is to improve and strengthen
teachers’ capabilities in handling/teaching diverse learners in and out of the classroom,
equipped with practical tools to integrate yoga into their daily lives and enhance their overall
health and happiness. Teachers unselfishly share their skills and best practices and establish
good working relationship with others.
