This exploratory study investigates the role of yoga in enhancing emotional awareness and regulation among adolescents through a qualitative lens grounded in secondary data analysis. Adolescence is a critical developmental phase characterized by heightened emotional reactivity and the emergence of complex emotional experiences. Emotional awareness—the ability to recognize and understand one’s emotions—and emotional regulation—the capacity to manage these emotions constructively—are essential for adolescents’ psychological well-being, academic performance, and social integration. Despite growing interest in yoga as a holistic practice for emotional balance, limited research specifically addresses its impact on adolescents' emotional development.
