Jr/Sr Yoga

Yoga is a course that covers the basic knowledge, and skills necessary to benefit from this exercise system. Flexibility, balance and body alignment as well as breathing, relaxation techniques and postures are part of each session. During quarter 1 students participate in a Muscular Fitness Unit.  During quarter 2 students participate a health unit called "Life Skills". In the Life Skills unit, students consider many health topics, including human sexuality, substance use and abuse, sexual harassment, and dating and domestic violence.  The classes are discussion-based and students explore different topics by means of guest speakers, panel discussions, in-class activities and a brief research project. Evaluation for all Junior Program courses is based on class participation, attendance, effort, preparedness, homework, written assignments and tests. Students receive a letter grade.
