Yoga offered as Early Morning Class at ICC

Yoga is being offered at Independence Community College beginning in January. The one-credit hour classes are now forming and are scheduled to begin January 11th and continuing through May 12th. The course is designed for everyone from people interested in learning about the benefits of yoga to practicing and advanced yoga enthusiasts.

Class will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00-7:50 a.m. in the Cessna Learning Center, West Classroom, on ICC’s main campus.

Hannah Joyce-Hoven, certified Yoga instructor through YogaFit®, will teach the course. YogaFit is the largest yoga school in North America and the only instructional facility for yoga that is an American Council on Exercise (ACE) partner.

According to the instructor, yoga is beneficial for all body types and people of all ages. It’s benefits include (but are not limited to) increasing flexibility, building muscle, relieving stress and tension, lowering blood pressure, strengthening bones, and increasing mental focus.

The course is designed to teach beginners and experienced yogis to develop a yoga practice that they can benefit from both in and out of class.

No experience is necessary and no books are required, simply come with an exercise/yoga mat. Yoga mats can be purchased from the ICC Bookstore. It is recommended that those people who prefer more knee support bring an extra-thick yoga mat (which can also be purchased from the ICC Bookstore). This class is recommended for everyone from beginners to experienced yoga enthusiasts.
