FYSP 103 - Yoga and the Embodied Spirit

FC ARHU WINT
4 credits
How do we live in, with, and as bodies? How does body relate to mind? How do both relate to spirituality; and does spirituality innately have to do with religion? This FYS course begins with studying physical yoga poses (asana) and how they relate to the breath. As we build our practice-each person at their own comfort level-we will read central texts about yoga and meditation, learn meditation techniques, explore embodied spiritual practices from multiple religions, and write creatively and critically about our findings. No prior yoga experience is required, nor is flexibility-except in your mind.
