With the continuous upgrading of physical education reform in colleges and universities, Chinese colleges and universities begin to set up optional yoga courses to enrich the classroom teaching content and improve the physical and mental health level of college students. However, the survey found that there are still problems in yoga courses in Chinese colleges and universities, such as weak teachers, insufficient explanation of yoga theory, yoga cognitive bias and lack of teaching conditions. In response to the problems identified in the survey, the study concluded that: Yoga teachers should receive formal and systematic yoga training, constantly improve their teaching level, strengthen yoga theory learning from their own point of view, correctly publicize yoga knowledge, timely adjust the teaching content, so as to carry out more targeted yoga teaching. At the same time, it strives for school or regional policy and financial support, seeks cooperation between different disciplines and even inter-school cooperation, and ensures the smooth development of yoga courses.
