Designed mostly for yoga teachers but also for interested students, in this 4-part series, we will dive deep into the structure of an asana class. How do we get our students from their first Child’s Pose into a demanding hip opener or inversion? The answer: by respecting their anatomy and creating a sequence that gives their bodies time to warm up and learn the actions and alignment of the more demanding pose in less demanding poses first. Then, when they arrive in the demanding peak pose, their bodies already have an understanding of the demand. A sequence is a container for your class. It’s the story you are telling along the way. For a class to land well in the bodies of your students, you must have a respect for anatomy and for alignment. There are many ways to sequence a yoga class but we will focus mainly on how to sequence based on a peak pose.For the first 90 minutes, prepare to practice. Ramsay will teach a strong asana class based a designated peak pose. After the class, we will discuss why Ramsay chose to sequence the class this way? What else might have worked and what would not have worked? We will break down the peak pose anatomically and discuss how elements of the peak pose showed up along the way in class. Then, a quiz, what if the peak pose had been different? What poses should we have practiced in that case? We can also discuss how yoga philosophy and mindfulness practices can be sequenced in seamlessly so they make sense in the context of the class. Come ready for a lively discussion.
