- Introduction to Yoga

Catalog description

This class is intended for students looking to practice yoga and breath work with an emphasis on group practices, learning about different styles of asana(the physical postures of yoga), and learning about the eight limbs of yoga and the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of developing a yoga practice. Students will learn about yoga through community practice in class, and will be encouraged to read The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Etihical Practice by Deborah Adele.
