By watching the videos in this section, you'll be learning to place basic standing Open 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 the concept we are currently working on. 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.
Watching the video shown below and following along with the first page of your workshop handout, you will learn the 5 primary movements of the spine, their relevance in taking these movements to maintain the health of the spine, and how to utilize these same movements as a means to warming up and preparing the spine for stronger movement in your yoga classes.
Once you understand what the 5 primary movements of the spine are, move on to viewing the video below to understand the varying points of orientation from which to start any class, any sequence, and/or as a means to move through multiple points of orientation in a single sequence.
