DAN 288Practicing Yoga: On & Off the Mat

Yoga is a 5,000-year-old practice based on both movement and stillness of the body and breath. The physical postures, however, are only a small part of the practice. This course will intertwine the philosophy and science of yoga with a physical practice. If consistent, your experiences on the mat will permeate into your life off the mat by reducing anxiety and increasing confidence and compassion for yourself and others. 3 Hours, 1 Semester Return to Table of Contents Nichols College 2026-2027 Catalog 131
