Inversions Yoga Sequence
There are many yoga sequences that one can do, but an inversion sequence is a great way to challenge yourself and deepen your practice. Inversions are poses in which your head is below your heart, and these poses can be a little intimidating at first. But with practice, you can learn to feel more confident and comfortable in these poses.
The following sequence will take you through a few basic inversions and then progress to more challenging poses. Be sure to use caution and modify any poses that are too challenging for you. And always consult with a qualified yoga teacher before attempting any inversions.
The sequence begins with a few basic poses to warm up the body. Then we’ll move on to the inversions.
1. Warm-Up Poses:
Cat-Cow Pose: Come to all fours with your hands directly below your shoulders and your knees directly below your hips. Inhale as you drop your belly toward the floor and look up. Exhale as you round your spine and tuck your chin. Continue moving back and forth between these poses, inhaling as you arch your back and look up, and exhaling as you tuck your chin and round your spine.
Downward-Facing Dog: Come to Downward-Facing Dog by starting in Cat-Cow Pose. Then, press your hands into the floor and lift your hips up and back. Keep your head between your arms and your spine long. Hold for a few breaths.
2. Inversion Poses:

How To Sequence A Chakra Yoga Class
A chakra yoga class sequences poses and breath work to open, energize, and align your chakras. Chakras are the energy centers of your body, and when they are out of balance, you can experience physical, emotional, and spiritual problems. A chakra yoga class can help restore balance and promote well-being.
The class begins with some gentle warm-ups to get the body moving and prepare it for the more challenging poses to come. Next, we move on to the first chakra, which is located at the base of the spine. We open this chakra with poses that stretch and open the hips and lower back. We then move on to the second chakra, located in the pelvis. This chakra is associated with pleasure, creativity, and sexuality, so we focus on poses that open the hips and stimulate the reproductive organs.
Next, we move on to the third chakra, located in the solar plexus. This chakra is associated with energy, willpower, and self-confidence. We focus on poses that strengthen the core and improve digestion. Then we move on to the fourth chakra, located in the heart. This chakra is associated with love, compassion, and self-acceptance. We focus on poses that open the chest and improve circulation.
Next, we move on to the fifth chakra, located in the throat. This chakra is associated with communication and self-expression. We focus on poses that open the neck and improve voice quality. Then we move on to the sixth chakra, located in the center of the forehead. This chakra is associated with intuition and insight. We focus on poses that stimulate the brain and improve concentration.
Finally, we move on to the seventh chakra, located at the crown of the head. This chakra is associated with enlightenment and spiritual awareness. We focus on poses that relax the mind and improve sleep quality. At the end of the class, we take a few minutes to relax in Savasana (Corpse Pose) and allow the energy of the chakras to settle into the body.
