- Physical Education
Semester-Length Class
No Prerequisite
This class is a yoga movement and anatomy-based course. The learning outcomes aim to familiarize students with basic yoga movement practice, different forms of yoga and their historical contexts, and a working understanding of functional anatomy and kinesiology. This course prioritizes movement as the primary modality of learning. Students will engage in safe physical practices that demonstrate the accessibility of movement for all bodies. This course will have no performance expectation. Students will be able to participate in experiential research about yoga’s neurological and physiological effects in their observation of how their practice informs their overall well-being. These elements together will provide students with tools to explore movement, breathwork, and biomechanics in one space. This will allow them to integrate their learning through their bodies and deepen their mind-body connection. This course can be repeated.
