What is expected in this class?
What is expected in this class?
You need to complete 30 hours of yoga and physical activities for full (.5) credit and 15 hours for quarter (.25) credit throughout the semester. I have linked a collection of yoga videos you can use for your sessions — they are a wonderful and varied resource, especially if you are brand new to yoga! You are also welcome to take yoga classes, use your own yoga videos or DVDs, or create your own yoga flow if you prefer. You do not need to do 30 different sessions — if you find videos you love, feel free to come back to them again and again! Please keep in mind that this is a yoga course, so the majority of your hours should come from yoga practice specifically. Please keep track of your hours throughout the semester so you can log them accurately in the last assignment in Edgenuity once you are ready to submit.
Throughout the semester, you need to complete 30 hours of Yoga practice sessions. You may not count any Yoga you completed before the semester began- it must all be completed during the semester. You are welcome to use the videos linked above for all or none of your Yoga sessions. If you have other Yoga videos or DVDs that you love, or if you take Yoga classes, you may use those instead. The videos are a great and varied resource for you to use if you would like, especially if you are brand new to Yoga! You do not need to do 40 different Yoga videos, you may do some of the same videos several times if you find some you really enjoy. Your exercise will make up 50% of your grade, 2 short video recordings will make up 30%, and the other 20% will come from the assignments in Edgenuity.

Equipment needed
Equipment needed
None! If you have a Yoga mat, that is great! If you don't, don't worry you don't need one. HOWEVER, if you tend to have sweaty hands/feet, I highly recommend using one for your own safety. It can be hard to hold some of the poses on carpet alone and almost impossible on a hard surface. Yoga mats provide excellent traction to help you hold your poses, and can be found at Walmart and Amazon for around $12. Also, some of the videos use a Yoga block. You can just get a towel or a blanket and fold it up into a small square and these work as great substitutes.
