Students will discover different ways to more freely do this in nature by having a full sensory experience through sights, sounds, smells, etc. As this will be an online class, students will be encouraged to get outdoors as best they can to complete assignments. Students will also learn about LNT and making healthy living and lifestyle choices. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the necessary skills needed to enjoy entry level paddle boarding, as well as incorporating and practicing yoga both on land and on the water. We will have a second zoom class where we will practice yoga together virtually as one of the assignments necessary for credit.
