To gain an understanding of working along a horizontal path and a vertical path, using the insides of the mandala, and how to utilize horizontal and vertical paths to create a sphere around the body, view the following video.
With an understanding of Open Hip and Squared Hip postures, we are now ready to begin the dynamics of sequencing. To address both the anatomical and energetic aspects of sequencing, we will begin this journey with breaking down what is symmetry and what is balance in relation to the asanas and the overall practice.
To experience and gain a feel for this new understanding, practice it in Vinyasa Flow Class 10 below. (Note: the written version of this class is included in the Module 3 - Principle 2 Written Classes download.)
By watching the videos in this section, you'll be learning to place basic standing Squared Hip Postures in a Linear Sequence from both the top of the mat and the back of the mat. The videos will be working either from the top of the mat or the back of the mat to share this concept. As an additional resource, your Module 2 handout includes a comprehensive series of written mini sequences that contain multiple versions of this concept, allowing you to carry them to your mat to work with and practice at your own pace. These written mini sequences also provide a powerful source to use later to create full classes.
Note: There are more written sequences than videos so that you have a larger and more permanent resource from which to create your own classes.
To experience and gain a feel for this new understanding, practice it in Basic Vinyasa Class 1. (Note: the written version of Basic Vinyasa Class 1 is included in the Module 3 Principle 1 Written Classes download)
You have completed Principle Two of the Art of Sequencing Module 3 Workshop!
The Module 3 - Principle 2 Written Classes download includes the the next 2 classes in our 4-part Basic Vinyasa Class series, so that you can continue practicing (and practice teaching) the concepts you are learning in this workshop.
Where to go from here: Once you feel comfortable with the information and concepts shared in Module 3 - Principle 2, move on to the Module 3 - Principle 3, which has its own set of handouts for you to download.
