Yoga and Wellness

For teachers who would like to use this WebQuest in an in-person classroom, it would be wonderful if you could incorporate some physical practice of what the students are learning into your classroom time.  If students could physically try out the poses and get feedback from their teacher and (respectfully) from their fellow students, that would certainly add meaning and encourage the students to continue their learning and practice outside the classroom.  

For teachers of all-online classes, you will need to create a place for students to upload their work, and do your best to give them constructive feedback on their practice in Task 3 via the web.  

The time it takes to complete this WebQuest should not be longer than 1-2 weeks, allowing time for the students to get together in their groups and prepare their presentation for Task 4.  

Standards

Students learn about yoga, its history and health benefits and prepare a presentation that they could give to leadership in their college or university to persuade them to implement a yoga program to help students achieve academic and personal success.

This WebQuest is geared toward the study and practice of yoga for wellness, especially for bachelor's-level college and university students. It is intended for bachelor's-level college and university students and any other adult learners who are interested in yoga. It hits on several standards including understanding and implementing knowledge, and presenting via multimedia for instruction and persuasion.
