This course is designed to improve both fitness and health through mind and body integration. Yoga postures (asanas) are woven together to provide a workout that targets the body, but does not emphasize any religion, or philosophy. Breathing while performing the asanas is stressed. Various styles of Hatha Yoga will be introduced. This course will give the student both the knowledge and the practice to move toward improved health, fitness and mind and body awareness.
