Ep 112: What Changes When You Sequence Based on the Idea That Poses Belong Together?

from Essential Conversations for Yoga Teachers · host Monica Bright

Did you learn to sequence by linking individual poses together, focusing on flow, creativity, or what your sequence will look like visually? While this is movement, it doesn't always create clarity with you or your students. In this episode, we explore why thinking in pose families instead of isolated postures can completely change how you approach sequencing.You will learn how grouping poses into families, such as backbends, hip openers, and spinal twists, helps you understand the function of a pose, prepare your students’ bodies more effectively, and set a clear tone for your class. We discuss how this approach supports accessibility with students, reduces your feeling of overwhelm when it comes to sequencing, and allows you to offer meaningful variations without losing the intention of the practice you intend to teach.This episode also highlights the vital role of neutral and symmetrical poses. This conversation will help you return to a more grounded and sustainable approach to your sequencing. Pose families offer you a framework to work with and allow your yoga classes to feel purposeful, inclusive, and intentional.Click HERE to send me a text & let me know your thoughts on this episode!
