The Art of Sequencing Workshop: Module One ~ $195 ~ 10 CEUs ~ One Year Access 

Module 1 introduces the first two principles of the Fundamental Formula for creating masterfully sequenced classes. The most important issue to address in starting the physical part of any yoga practice is to properly warm up the spine and prepare it for stronger aspects of the practice. In this Module, Master Sequencer Melody White shares the 5 Primary Movements of the Spine, their importance in maintaining a healthy spine, and the subtle ways in which to warm up the spine for a yoga practice. You will also learn the 5 Points of Orientation, from which you can begin any sequence or class, bringing awareness to where you are on the mat at any given time, and providing options for making choices and adjustments based on the practitioners in your class.

The Art of Sequencing Workshop: Module Two ~ $195 ~ 10 CEUs ~ One Year Access 

This Module builds on the first two principles addressed in Module 1, adding the final principle of the Fundamental Formula, the 7 Elements of Opening. In this Module 2, Master Sequencer Melody White will also share how to categorize postures for purposes of anatomical and energetic alignment, and the important role of balance and symmetry in the practice. You’ll develop a greater understanding of the postures that make up dynamic sequences and learn how to categorize those postures into one of two categories that allow you to easily place them into any format in a manner that supports the subtle body and creates a more optimal feel to the practice. The focus in this module is on placing basic standing open hip and squared hip postures, and their associated standing balances, into linear sequences from both the top of the mat and the back of the mat, as well as working with complementary floorwork.

The Art of Sequencing Workshop: Module Three ~ $395 ~ 30 CEUs ~ Three Year Access

This Module is all about defining and applying the principles of rotation on your mat. Circles are great holders of sacred space and allow for accessing center. Here in this module we use rotation in a circle to access the center of us, and create meditative space for communication with self. This Module shares the principles for rotation on the mat in multiple mandala formats, which support radial balance; understanding working along horizontal and vertical paths; and how to use these energetic pathways together to create spheres, which have a three dimensional affect on the subtle body. It shares a tremendous amount of information, both through video tutorials and written handouts. For that reason, it is divided into several sections to allow you to progress more easily through the Module and master one concept at a time.

The Art of Sequencing Full Workshop (Modules 1, 2, 3) ~ $595 ~ 50 CEUs ~ Lifetime Access 

The full workshop includes all three modules described above, plus the Sequencing Quick Finder.

Each Module includes its own downloadable handouts. There is a total of more than 100 pages of written material, so you may wish to print each part as you go along and put it in a binder for easy access and future reference. The handouts that accompany the workshop are intended to be used as a resource and reference long after you’ve finished the workshop.
