PHE 277 — Introduction to Yoga
During this fifteen-week course, students perform stretching and breathing exercises based on Hatha Yoga. These exercises (asanas), if practiced regularly and methodically, aid in maintaining good health, improving cardiovascular circulation, and reducing stress. The exercises, when mastered, stretch and flex all major areas of the body in a balanced fashion, increasing blood flow and improving breathing. Students keep a journal of their individual progress and research the benefits of Hatha Yoga and its relationship to good health.
