Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. When a course is discovered beneficial to students and the district feels there may be a need for the course, new courses are submitted. At this time, we are submitting a new Physical Education course, Introduction to Yoga.
This new course, Introduction to Yoga, is designed to introduce students to the basic postures, breathing techniques, and relaxation methods of yoga in a safe and accessible manner. Students will begin to experience the benefits of stretching, moving, and breathing freely as they relieve built-up stress, learn to relax, and ultimately get more out of day-to-day life.
The source will provide the students with a foundation of basic skills, knowledge, and yoga practice. Students will utilize the foundation to learn to apply their yoga practice to the demands of their environment. Through this course, with the acquisition of the basic skills of yoga, students can develop an individual practice addressing independent concerns and experience long-term results. This year-long course is intended for grades nine through twelve as a physical education credit and does not meet the UC/CSU A-G requirements.
The textbook for this course is Teaching Yoga: Essential Foundations and Techniques by Mark Stephens, with ISBN 9781556438851, published in 2010.
