More than 95% of university lecturers perceived positive impacts of yoga and meditation on physical and mental health, stress reduction, sleep quality, immune system strength, self-awareness, work-life balance, and job satisfaction. Despite these perceptions, only 11.1% practiced daily. However, 89.8% expressed willingness to participate in university-provided sessions. The findings suggest that although lecturers recognize the benefits, regular practice remains limited, and the high willingness indicates potential for implementing structured programs within university settings.
