FRE 290 Yoga and Aquatic Community

Our course is centered on knowledge and experience from the student perspective of being abroad, as we will initially be in a foreign environment. We will work toward achieving know-how alongside intercultural and social skills to engage with the land, the lagoon, and the community. These activities are the focus and goal; it’s our “yoga”. Through careful structures and actions with local community partners, we re-center ourselves regularly to help them welcome us, which allows us to feel welcome in return. The type of aquatic activity, yoga, and meditation we will do is basic and inclusive. Being able to swim is recommended, although not necessary.
