Abstract
This study scrutinises the effects of a yoga programme on the social-emotional competencies and resilience of 124 student teachers at a university in Turkey and investigates the viewpoints of the participants about the integration of holistic yoga practices. A Hatha yoga programme was implemented in the experimental group for 6 weeks. Data were obtained via Social-Emotional Competencies Questionnaire (SEC-Q), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and online open-ended questions. Between-group analyses displayed that self-awareness, self-management and resilience scores increased significantly in the experimental group after the implementation of the treatment. Within-group differences showed meaningful improvements in all social-emotional competencies and resilience levels for the experimental group. Delayed post-tests indicated that participants were able to sustain their improved social and emotional competencies and resilience. Qualitative findings indicated that participants found the programme as a feasible medium for mind-body awareness, emotion and stress regulation, and quality of life.
