Abstract	The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of yoga as a mindfulness practice on music educators' stress and stress management. We designed this multiple-case study through the conceptual framework of practicing yoga to reduce teachers' stress because yoga reduces stress in some populations. Participants attended a weekly virtual yoga class for 45 min and answered weekly reflection questions from the "Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire" and the "Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale." Findings indicated that yoga positively impacted participants in terms of improving mood, reducing stress, feeling more relaxed, remembering to breathe, and maintaining more focus while teaching. Participants also indicated that they were bringing yoga and mindfulness practices into their teaching and focusing on their breath to help with stress management. (As Provided).
