Sequence Your Yoga Classes with Passion + Purpose

This 20-Hour Training will help focus and deepen your understanding of how to employ the body’s mechanics together with profound energetic ideas of yoga to create class sequences that will inspire your students while being safe and effective on all levels – physical, energetic, mental and emotional.  

Each day will mix theory, practice, and interactive experimentation, and will include a taught practice bringing together many of the ideas discussed.  Over two full days this workshop will address both physical and energetic aspects of sequencing.

We will explore physical aspects such as:

• the balance between symmetry and asymmetry, between contraction and release, between internal and external rotation

• variations on warm-up sequences

• finding neutral, parallel and counterposes in dynamic sequences

• efficient sequencing of muscle activation

• using repetition to build strength not strain

• develop anatomical sequencing beyond a peak pose

​

We will look also look at the interaction between some of the philosophical + energetic templates that the yoga traditions have given us to help our sequencing.

We will consider:

• the subtle body including chakras, doshas + mudras

• Using nature’s rhythms such as seasons, the moon, and even just the time of the day

• Incorporate a philosophical theme or topic to build a multi-dimensional flow

• how to prepare a Dharma talk as well as finding your voice as a teacher

• the importance of appropriate breath awareness, pranayama, and meditation practices in effective sequencing

• how timing and language impact the effect of a class.

• learn how repetition builds confidence - in your students AND in your teaching
