Yoga: Fundamentals and Beyond

Catalog description

This course offers an exploration of several aspects of yoga, including the physical practice, breathing techniques, yoga philosophy and meditation. This class is open to students of all levels and we will start with fundamentals and progress into a more vigorous, vinyasa style yoga class. We will use the breath to flow through sequences of yoga postures, including sun salutations, standing asanas, balancing asanas, arm balances, back bends, and inversions. Delving into yoga philosophy and meditation, in class and through outside assignments, will provide students with tools for cultivating mindfulness.
