FAST 1159 - Intermediate Vinyasa Yoga

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

Intermediate Vinyasa Yoga continues the focus on Vinyasa Yoga, which by definition is a series of actions performed with clear intention, in purposeful order, to illuminate conscious awareness. It introduces intermediate flows and progressive postures that require more balance and concentration than the postures covered in Vinyasa. Some of these include, but are not limited to, balance holds, inversions, twists, and integration of these movements into advanced flows. Each class will begin with a warm-up series (breathing/meditation/heat building), then progress to the more physically demanding work series (maintaining heat/building strength/working twists) and finish with a cool down (deeper stretches/inversions/relaxation.) Students will be evaluated through instructor observation and self-assessment. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate all learned poses by vocal cues only. 2. Develop proper body alignment, balance, flexibility and strength. 3. Develop core strength, resulting in graceful movements. 4. Demonstrate inversion work to build upper-body strength, balance, and confidence. 5. Perform a series of beginner to intermediate and advanced yoga poses with proper alignment Improve flexibility.
