An introduction to yoga that is adaptive to the individual, gentle and slowly dynamic with a breath-centered approach. This is a practice designed to empower students, giving them tools to reduce stress and improve strength, flexibility and alignment. Injuries are accommodated. Gaining understanding from ancient yoga theory, students learn to embody experiences of focus, acceptance, courage and letting go.  This positive energy is tapped into through breathing techniques, yoga poses, contemplation, meditation and deep relaxation. Practicing at all levels bestows resilience and calm. Restrictions: A maximum of 4 credits of Exercise & Sports Study performance classes may be counted towards the degree. Enrollment limited to 23.
