Welcome 2012 Yoga Capstone Participants

Here is the course  blog.

I'm  looking forward to meeting each of  you.

Please create your own blog for this course  and send me the link so I can put it on the blog roll  for this  class.

Come prepared to do a bit of yoga on the first day  which means, buy a sticky mat to bring with you and  wear shorts and a T shirt to class.



Here is a list of the assigned course  texts.

I will send you a syllabus  through blackboard email.

List of Required Readings:

1. How Yoga Works by Michael Roach and CHRISTIE MCNALLY. This historical novel will help you make sense of The Yoga Sutra’s of Patanjali. · ISBN-10: 0976546906

· ISBN-13: 978-0976546900

2. The Yoga Sutras are available on line in many places and there are many translations of it available on Amazon. Use whatever translation you like.
