Yoga Teacher Enrichment
The Energetics of Sequencing
Sequencing a yoga practice is more than arranging postures in a logical order—it is the art of shaping energy, intention, and awareness to guide students toward a specific outcome. Each practice becomes a journey that transforms how we feel, think, and act, both on and off the mat.
At its heart, the energetics of sequencing acknowledges that postures, breath practices, and meditation techniques are not neutral—they each carry unique effects on the body, nervous system, and mind. A well-crafted sequence weaves these elements together intentionally to create balance, vitality, and clarity.
-
Direction of Energy
Postures can ground, uplift, expand, or turn awareness inward. By choosing the right arc of poses, a practice can stabilize scattered energy or spark inner strength.
Progressive Effect
Sequences are designed to move from gross to subtle, preparing the body physically before refining awareness through breathwork and meditation. This gradual unfolding allows students to access deeper states with ease.
Balancing Opposites
Heating and cooling, effort and surrender, stability and mobility—each sequence harmonizes these polarities to restore equilibrium.
Purpose-Driven Design
Every sequence serves a clear intention, whether it is cultivating vitality, calming the mind, building resilience, or awakening inner joy.
Through thoughtful sequencing, yoga becomes a powerful tool and can help you become an impactful yoga teacher and connect us with our highest potential.
