Physical Education

Students enrolled in this course study yoga for their physical education requirement. The course will teach students the history of yoga, breathing in yoga, proper alignment, anatomy, the basic postures of a Vinyasa flow/ Fusion Flow, and it will teach them how to develop their own practice to be used outside of the classroom. Students will learn each posture, its proper alignment, and what benefits it provides for the body. Once students have learned each posture correctly they will begin to practice a set sequence daily in class which will develop their core strength, muscular strength, and flexibility. Each week we will add a new peak posture that will further the students practice into the asana and help develop their balance and strength. Additionally, students will be taught how to develop their own sequence which can be practiced at home or anywhere as a life time fitness tool. Students will have weekly vocabulary tests to test them on the postures, their meanings, and their health benefits. Students will be physical the entire period to help build their stamina and strength. Semester 1 includes Units 1-8 and Semester 2 repeats units 2-8 and introduces units 9 and 10.
