Study on the Forms of Aesthetic Education and Practical Approaches in College Yoga Courses from the Perspective of Integrating Physical and Aesthetic Education

Abstract

The integration of physical education and aesthetics is an important direction in the reform of school sports in the new era. Based on the perspective of integrating physical education and aesthetics, this paper employs literature review and logical analysis methods to systematically study the aesthetic education forms and practical approaches of yoga courses in colleges and universities. The study finds that yoga courses manifest multi-level and inherently unified aesthetic education forms—such as the beauty of life, the beauty of the body, harmonious beauty, and moral beauty—through the regulation of breathing rhythm, the shaping of postures, the coordination of movement rhythm, and the cultivation of the mind through meditation. This represents a vivid practice of strengthening the body through the beauty of physical education. However, current courses face issues such as inadequate implementation of the integration concept, superficial exploration of cultural and aesthetic connotations, and teaching models and faculty unable to support the deepening of aesthetic education. Therefore, this paper proposes reforms along three paths: innovating a curriculum content system that coexists with physical and aesthetic education, constructing a classroom teaching model immersed in aesthetics, and building a professional faculty team that integrates both fields to fully realize the unique value of yoga courses in promoting the coordinated development of college students' physical and mental health and aesthetic literacy.
