The wealth of India, Yoga is one of the greatest gifts of India to the world. Part of daily routine
for the Indians of yore, today yoga has become one of the most popular systems of health and
healing, all over the world. It is also a spiritual pursuit for many seekers of truth. In the modern
world, western countries like America use yoga as a tool for mental, physical and spiritual
upliftment .Life is full of stress as a result of existence in the fast, mechanized and competitive
way of life. Moreover modernization, urbanization, materialism, competition and ever changing
trends of society tend to put stress on individuals of all age groups.
In the present circumstances, youth as well as children are facing difficulties in life. These
difficulties are giving rise to many psychosomatic problems such as anxiety, tension, frustration
and emotional upsets in day to day life. So the study of emotional life is now emerging as a
descriptive science, comparable with anatomy it deals with an inter play of forces with intensities
and quantities. Available tests are crude and measure chiefly the degree of dependence. But the
test measures the difficult aspects of emotional maturity. As self-acceptance is an important
aspect of maturity ways Wenkart, it must be preceded by acceptance from others. Emotional
maturity is concerned primarily with self-control and expression. The teacher develops through a
variety of experiences. For instance, the school can help the adolescents to arrange situations that
will enable them to judge and evaluate their own behaviour. The school can provide a variety of
supervised playground activities that permit children to free rather than rigidly prescribe art
expression and help children take part in discussions in the classroom or in private conference.
