You have completed Principle 1 of the Art of Sequencing Module 3 Workshop!
Now that you are becoming familiar with Principle One, download and get started teaching these Sacred Circles on your mat with our Basic Vinyasa Starter Package. It includes 5 written basic vinyasa classes and one written master vinyasa class.
Where to go from here: Once you feel comfortable with the information and concepts shared in this Module 3 Principle One, move on to Module 3: Principle Two, which has its own set of handouts for you to download.
This video addresses various ways to start your class from standing at the back of the mat, with options for beginner, intermediate and advanced classes.
This video addresses various ways to create a feeling of flow without stepping up and back on the mat, with options for beginner, intermediate and advanced classes.
Addresses External Rotation of the Hip and Hamstring Lengthening; includes open hip poses of Warrior 2, Modified and Full Side Angle, Triangle, and Tree standing; complementary floorwork includes Tree on the floor, Seated Staff Pose, Wide Leg Seated Forward Fold, Leg Up the Wall Pose, Reclined Twists, and Savasana taken in Corpse Pose.
By watching the videos in this section, you'll be learning to place basic Twists 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.
Now that you know the primary movements for Attending the Spine, it's time to learn to place them together in a sequence, and eventually, into a class. Using the written mini sequences for Attending the Spine found in your Workshop Handout, in conjunction with the corresponding sequencing tutorials found below, you will learn numerous ways to attend to the spine. You will gain the knowledge of how to attend to the spine for any level practitioner, while still being able to maintain the feeling of flow by transitioning as you wish through multiple points of orientation in one sequence.
