The Science and Practice of Yoga
Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.
Concerned about how the digital age is impacting your well-being? Looking for ways to find balance? This course takes the ancient practice of yoga and translates it into modern day science with practical applications.
You will learn how to practice yoga on the mat as well as in your everyday life using aspects of yoga that are immediately applicable to you. Having taught yoga to thousands of people just like you, we have reduced the practice down to the nectar of what really works.
Your team of instructors brings a dynamic blend of science and practice to the course. Stacy and Dave Dockins own four yoga studios in Texas and have trained hundreds of instructors to teach yoga as a life-transforming practice rooted in mindfulness. Dr. Catherine Spann and Dr. George Siemens are researching what it means to be human in a digital age at the University of Texas at Arlington’s LINK Research Lab. With years of experience in online education and psychological research, they bring expertise in learning and well-being in the digital age.
This course is for anyone interested in learning the science and practice of yoga. No previous yoga experience is needed! We welcome those who are interested in learning the basics of yoga postures as well as experienced yoga practitioners or instructors looking to deepen their practice.
By signing up for this course, you will have the opportunity to meet and discuss yoga and meditation with people from across the world. Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to sign up with you!

What people are saying
relate than per example
The 3 starts for the Provider are for the platform, and the forums structure is more difficult to relate than per example the very clear week by week needs and syllabus.
age ideology mixed with
Pseudoscience and new age ideology mixed with a bit of science, too much focus on popular ideas of well being not specifically related to yoga, so many aspects of yoga were left unexamined.
instructors were equally effective
Both the main instructors were equally effective.
not feel overly rushed
I did not feel overly rushed and I could always stop the video if needed, something you can't do in a class setting.
focus on popular ideas
great detailed instructions
Great detailed instructions.
learn proper technique
It has been one year that since I took the course and I have to say I found it very useful since I mainly wanted to learn proper technique and this course did it for me.
video if needed
cover but nothing
I was hoping that they would do a sequel since there is so much in yoga to cover but nothing so far.
day mindfulness practices
The interesting part is the Content that you can mold to your needs, 2 sessions of 1 hour, several mini-sessions of 15 minutes and, here is the catch... the connection to day to day mindfulness practices, some of them (see week 4 on common humanity) are really useful.
digital media focus
The assessment was poorly organised, had a digital media focus and did not contribute much to learning about yoga.
