Simply Yoga is a free yoga video library. Simply Yoga consists of two sets of videos, and each set includes a 20-, 40-, and 60-minute video. In each video, there are 10 segments, and each segment verbally describes one yoga pose while showing a demonstration of it. Users can scan through video segments or search the videos by pose. Additional yoga videos are available as an in-app purchase.

Instructional Ideas

1. Teachers can start class each day with a different yoga pose, and students can keep a journal about the yoga poses they do. Some generic journal topics to which students can respond after trying the pose include: (1) What did you like or not like about the pose? (2) Explain if doing this pose was easy, challenging, or impossible. (3) If you were going to rank this pose against all other yoga poses you know, where do you rank it and why?
2. Teachers can assign small groups of students different yoga poses to research. Students can research the pose using Google and compose a short report using a function-based app (e.g., CloudOn, Quick Office) about the history of the pose and its benefits. The report can either be emailed to teachers for grading or posted to a class website.
3. Small groups of students can be assigned to teach their classmates a yoga pose. As part of their presentation, students must create a presentation about the pose’s history, namesake, and any other interesting information. Then, the small group must demonstrate the pose to their classmates, and their classmates must make an attempt to do the pose. To create the presentation, students can use Haiku Deck or Quick Office.
