Fitness Yoga Syllabus

This course is designed for students who would like to learn and use yoga as the focus of their fitness routine. Through a variety of flow routines and movements, and using hatha yoga poses and correct breathing techniques, students will strive to increase their flexibility, balance, and strength. Students will also learn ways to reduce their daily stress levels through regular breathing practice. Creating and performing an original yoga routine will be expected of each student in the class.

Based on the times we are in due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have pivoted from many of the activities listed in the program of studies for this course.   However, Fitness Yoga will be one of the courses that gets affected the least.  Most of our activity will be done outside of the building. This will allow students to take much needed mask breaks when they adhere to the six feet or more rule.   All of the content and lessons in Fitness Yoga will be driven by these three national physical education standards: Standard 3, Standard 4 and Standard 5.
