93: Intentional Sequencing for Vinyasa Yoga Mini-Series with Karen: Doing Too Much (Part. 2)

In Part Two of the Intentional Sequencing for Vinyasa Yoga mini-series, Reika and Karen dive into one of the most common challenges yoga teachers face: doing too much in a sequence. They unpack the pressure many new teachers feel to prove their creativity through complex flows and explore why simplicity often creates a more impactful experience for students.Through candid conversation and personal teaching reflections, they discuss how intentionality can help narrow the focus of a class, why students only absorb a fraction of what’s offered, and how repetition and restraint can lead to deeper engagement. Reika and Karen also explore the balance between being a teacher and a choreographer, and how embracing simplicity allows both teachers and students to truly be in the practice rather than perform it.Upcoming Workshop:⁠Intelligent Sequencing for Yoga Teachers⁠October 25th, Saturday 2-4 pm PSTIn-person @Long Beach & LivestreamedConnect with Karen:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@sodiumsoul⁠⁠⁠Connect with Reika:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Reika's Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reika's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@reikayoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reika's website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reikayoga.com⁠
