A photograph of Harpeth Hall students practicing yoga in the Harpeth Hall library during a Winterim class sometime in the 2000s. Per the 2000-2006 Winterim course catalogs, several courses were offered that provided students the opportunity to learn yoga: "Kick It Up!" introduced students "to all the latest in fitness training -- Tae-Bo, kickboxing, body sculpting, yoga, step, and lots more. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to experience the fundamentals of aerobic and anaerobic training." "Body Talk" was specifically a yoga class, which was later renamed to simply "Yoga."

Harpeth Hall StudentsContext
Harpeth Hall’s Winterim program was created to “provide for students a worthwhile learning experience in an atmosphere significantly different from the traditional classroom” and give “each student the opportunity to explore her own specific field of interest.” The three-week experience takes place every January and allows upper school students the unique opportunity to develop new interests, travel to unfamiliar places, and explore potential careers.
Students in 9th and 10th grades enroll in project-oriented courses on campus presented by school faculty and professionals from around the country, while students in 11th and 12th grades engage in internships, academic travel, international exchanges, or independent study.
Planning occurred in 1972, and the first "Winter Term" was rolled out in 1973. In 1974, a more robust program was developed and did include some travel. This was also the first year of an official Winterim catalog.Collection
