The Colleges require all students to complete three semesters of physical education. Participation on a CMS intercollegiate athletic team will also count towards fulfilling the physical education requirement. All students are expected to complete this requirement during their freshman and sophomore years, except for those excused by the Chair of the Department of Physical Education for medical reasons or because of prior military service.

The Ashtanga Primary Series will be taught utilizing Zoom from 7:00 to 8:30 am Tuesday and Thursday. On a physical level the asanas (poses) of the Ashtanga Primary Series build strength and flexibility in the body, loosening tight muscles and realigning and detoxifying the body and nervous system. The series begins with forward bends, then twists and hip openers with a vinyasa between each asana. You will learn by name and physical form of the yoga poses in the Ashtanga Primary Series. The intent of learning this flow is to build a home yoga practice.
Practicing Ashtanga Yoga is a very effective way to lose weight, promotes digestion and purification for internal cleansing. It also builds strength and flexibility, making your body leaner, stronger and healthier. Positive changes are sure to follow if you practice often. Each session ends with a short meditation.
There are a few short readings in during the course so that you can fully understand the 8 Limbs of Yoga as they pertain to your Ashtanga practice. The readings will be discussed during the Zoom presentations of the flow. These are eight 20 minute presentations of during the semester.
Attendance and Grading
You must attend at least 80% of these Zoom Classes to pass. You will be asked to complete a short questionaire of your knowledge of Ashtanga Yoga on the first day of the course. Then at the end of the semester you’ll write a short summary of what you have experienced and learned by participating in the Ashtanga Yoga method, noting the names of several of the poses you have learned. You will also be asked to comment on the 8 readings of the 8 Limbs of Yoga. This assessment is brief, open book and limited to no more than 2 pages. This Assessment is simply pass/fail.
The course is sponsored by Studio 3 Yoga of Upland. Studio 3 offers Yoga Teacher Training courses, a full schedule of yoga classes on Zoom and in the studio (except during State mandated lockdowns per Covid).
