Course Description: What distinguishes yoga from other callisthenic exercise? The basic definition of yoga is the practice of bringing awareness to the relationship between mind, body, and breath. Recent studies find that yoga can reduce pain and insomnia, improve balance, stability, and function, reduce hypertension, relieve anxiety and depression, and more. In this course we explore function, respiration, load, range of motion, and cognitive abilities. The focus of this class is not just to receive a singular “workout” but more to learn ways to insert healthy changes throughout daily life. 1 Hr class on T/Th
