Stress Challenge

Service Learning

This is a service-learning phy ed class. We will play cooperative games, practice problem solving, discuss choices, build trust and take risks. This is an experiential education class where we get involved in all of the above plus more. Group process is very important. Each person will be asked to participate to a high degree, stay connected to the group and be challenged around personal issues. Eventually we will be ready to face adventures, such as canoeing, caving, ropes course, rock climbing and anything else we dare to think up, with complete confidence. Semester Class.
Yoga This class is an introduction to Hatha Yoga, which includes postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. Yoga is a millenia-old system of stretching and strengthening, bequeathed to us by the Hindu culture of India. Yoga aims at physical, psychological and spiritual balance, promotes flexibility and reduces stress. Wear sweats or shorts for free movement, must be willing to work seriously on postures, but all who are willing are welcome.
