Welcome to the new Yoga sequence workout. Here you will find different cycles and sequences programmed by an expert yoga teacher. These yoga sequences provide a blueprint or yoga map for teachers and students.

This is the basic framework we will be looking at in the sequencing cylces.

  • Short Vinyasa Flow: 20-45 Minutes
  • Long Vinyasa Flow: 60 -90 Minutes
  • Short Yin Flow: 20-45 Minutes
  • Long Yin Flow: 60-90 Minutes

Here is an example of a 90 minute Vinyasa Flow class sequence you might find:

Centering

5-10 minutes of clearing the mind and prepping the body for practice – this can include breathing practices and some opening poses or light movements with breath. The focus during this time is fully clear the space of distractions and enter the present moment.

Warm Up

10-15 minutes of warming postures

Standing Poses

30+ minutes of sun salutations, standing poses, balance poses and energizing pose sequences

Going Deeper

20-30 minutes for hip openers, skill work, and fine tuning poses

Final Poses

10-15 minutes for inversions, backbends, and twists

10 minutes or more of savasana.

The sequences will be posted on Tuesday and Thursday, with a meditation once a week on Sundays.

Week 9, Day 2: Sensitive Joints Flow (short flow)

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity. We need only be awake, alive in the present moment.

Seated Twist to Each Side
Child’s Pose
Cat/Cow 10 Rounds
Child’s Pose Twist to Right and Left
