Brief lectures covering yoga history, diaphragmatic breathing, basic anatomical alignment of yoga poses, body awareness, and stress management are presented. Students practice the 25 basic asanas (yoga poses) with modifications to each asanas, and alignment principles (forward folds, twists, backbends, and standing poses, etc.).
