    Description
    This course furthers the study and practice of the Ashtanga Primary Series of Yoga. This is a specific sequence of poses that takes a minimum of one-hour and forty-five minutes to complete. Shorter variations of the sequence will also be presented to support consistent home practice. Focus will be placed on learning the poses and sequence of the second half of the series, and practicing the entire series while fine tuning proper body alignment and breathing. This practice is designed to further develop strength, flexibility, stamina, and concentration. Emphasis will also be placed on intermediate meditation, breathing, and relaxation techniques for reduction of stress and tension. Special focus will be placed on methods to further integrate these tools into all areas of daily life. *UC unit/course limit
