![]() Moving the props is kept to a minimum because once bolsters get lifted overhead, things can get chaotic! It’s designed to fit a 60-minute time slot and involves just one bolster, two blocks, and one blanket per student. In the spirit of welcoming as many souls in need of a restorative yoga session as possible, here is a sequence that can be done when space is tight and props are limited. Second, there’s the challenge of a large number of props required for a well-attended class-not every studio is stocked with two bolsters or four blocks for each person. First, there’s the challenge of where everyone is supposed to put all their props. In a flow class, this isn’t typically an issue, but in a restorative class, with many bulky props, it definitely can be. Whatever the reason, sometimes a class sequence must be confined to the parameters of each student’s mat. There’s a variety of reasons this might be the case: an influx of new students with new year’s resolutions, the class or teacher is a favorite, the time is convenient, or maybe the room itself is small.

Slight variations exist within vinyasa practice and teaching, therefore “FLOW to downward facing dog ” is suggested to mean: (exhale) chaturanga/low plank, (inhale) upward facing dog, (exhale) downward facing dog Sun Salutations A and B can be set up slowly followed by moving repeatedly one breath to one posture. I hope you will take it, have fun with it, make it yours, and teach it! This class will guide students to the peak posture: balancing half moon pose. Then consideration must be placed on timing and breath. It is so important for the entire sequence to make sense, lead students to a certain focus or prepare them well to reach a posture destination, and be safe.Īfter I plan a sequence, I need to practice the sequence and feel it in my body, to imagine at the same time what it feels like in a beginner student’s body and the props and tools I can give them to make it accessible. You know those days when you are getting ready to plan your next class and you need a little inspiration? Class sequencing takes time and energy.
