Brand new to yoga? This fun course, taught by yoga teacher and college professor Colin Hall, offers you an opportunity to learn about yoga practice and philosophy in an accessible, lighthearted way. Colin introduces you to the history and philosophy of yoga and their relevance to our lives today. He also shares yoga classes where you’ll get to explore foundational asanas (yoga poses) and learn helpful movement transitions in depth.
