Teaching Yoga for Life

Teaching Yoga for Life provides a resource for integrating yoga into an existing physical education class or curriculum (e.g., indoor recess in a classroom, a stressless break in the classroom or cafeteria) or as a stand-alone class (e.g., physical education or teen yoga at a recreation center). This book provides an effective and practical approach to teaching yoga based on National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) pedagogical standards. The curriculum includes basic physical poses, breathing techniques, relaxation methods, kinesthetic play, and visualizations. The information provided is based on applied research and evidence from piloted programs.
