1) For the next Independent Component, I plan on creating my own sequences of yoga postures along with performing it at home. Since I'm working now, it's difficult to take classes as often as I used to but I figured I could be creative and create my own class at home. Each sequence will focus on different parts of the body. It sounds very basic, but it will take a lot of research to see what poses are recommended to go together that will accommodate me. For example, I have scoliosis so I must make sure I included gentle, yet effective poses in my sequence. Every week I will create a sequence and perform it 4 days a week. Also, I will make sure that the sequences will last long enough to fill a 90 minute time slot. The difference between this independent component and the last one is that I am coming up with sequences that cater to my body's needs, not depending on videos.
2) As I stated earlier, I believe my plan will meet the 30 hour minimum. It will probably take about 30 minutes to create a sequence (once a week) and I will make sure it will last for a 90 minute time slot. Then I will perform my sequences 4 days a week (which will give me 6 hours/week). If I continue this from 2/10-4/25, it will give me around 66 hours.
3) My Independent Study relates to my EQ by educating myself about yoga not only as a student, but as a teacher. It'll help me explore different directions of where to take my research since I'll be seeing it from a new point of view. Taking and teaching myself gives me the hands-on learning to know what it takes to improve your physical health through doing and teaching. For example, as a student, I will learn more poses the hard way by physically performing it. As a teacher, I will learn how the poses affect the body with its benefits and I will learn how to modify poses if I'm not able to perfect it.
