ATHL 105B - Introductory Vinyasa Yoga

0.5 credits
Vinyasa Yoga is a form of yoga incorporating a series of postures connected by flowing movement and rhythmic breathing practice. Vinyasa means “to set with intention,” so this class offers the opportunity to set yourself with intention on the mat. The opportunity to take time for Self, and connect to your strength, soulfulness, and authenticity. Starting with a brief meditation, the postures will then be offered up layer by layer (with modifications offered for various levels of flexibility or strength) leaving you feeling strong and grounded. It is about dropping the ego, challenging yourself, and having fun. Yoga is the stilling of the mind, but we start with the body, the most tangible thing in our reach, to help hook our mind to the internal space, connect to the breath, and slow the thoughts.
