Designing Yoga Sequences
:
When designing a yoga sequence, there are a few things to keep in mind. The first is the type of yoga you are doing. There are many different types of yoga, and each has its own specific sequence of poses. The second thing to consider is your own experience and level of practice. A beginner sequence will be different than an intermediate or advanced sequence.
The final thing to consider is your goal. What are you hoping to achieve with your yoga practice? Are you looking to increase strength and flexibility? Improve your balance and coordination? Or simply relax and de-stress? Once you have a good idea of what you’re looking for, you can start putting together a sequence that will help you reach your goals.
If you’re a beginner, it’s a good idea to start with a basic sequence that includes a few poses from each of the main categories: standing poses, seated poses, and backbends. As you become more comfortable with the poses, you can add in more challenging variations.
If you’re looking to increase strength and flexibility, you might want to include a few more standing poses in your sequence. If you’re looking for a more relaxing practice, you might want to focus on seated and reclining poses.
No matter what your experience or goals, always remember to listen to your body and adjust the sequence as needed. There is no one “right” way to do yoga, so feel free to experiment and find what works best for you.
Restorative Yoga Sequencing
is a sequence of poses designed to help restore and balance the body. The practice of Restorative Yoga helps us to release tension, connect with our breath and find a sense of calm and ease in the body and mind.
The practice of Restorative Yoga often includes gentle poses, supported with props, that are held for a longer period of time. This allows the body to relax and release deeply into the pose. The use of props also helps to increase the stretch and opening in the body, without putting any strain on the muscles or joints.
The benefits of a regular Restorative Yoga practice include:
-A decrease in stress and anxiety
-A reduction in tension and pain in the body
-A deeper connection with the breath
-A sense of calm and ease in the body and mind
