General Guidelines:

• Assume that I know nothing about the dance form you are writing about. Remember YOU ARE THE TEACHER! You should be able to hand this paper to someone with no knowledge of yoga, and they should understand exactly what you are talking about.
• The total length of the essay should be 2.25 – 3 typed pages (double-spaced, .75 inch margins and 12 point font)
• Please use at least 3 resources, 1 of which should be from GCC Library’s connection to online databases. (Proquest and JSTOR are popular) Wikipedia and Yogapedia do not count as resources. There are are many online yoga journals and organizations that will have information on these figures.
• You must have a “Works Cited” page (in addition to the 2 page minimum). Please use MLA style references.
