We have started to learn how to control our breaths and we’ve really enjoyed the course. When the students of Mt.Tallac first heard about yoga being an option for credit many were reluctant to even think about signing up for the course, but a small group of people were interested and now attend the course whenever they can.
The students have commented that they really enjoyed the course because it's really relaxing and calming in a fast paced world.
