Advanced Sequencing According to the Chakras with Idit Hefer Tamir

Sequencing is the foundation of all good yoga classes. We will reflect on creating sequencing, built around a theme (such as the chakras for example) and where you might be stuck in a sequencing ‘rut’ or teaching on auto-pilot. We will also look at advanced alignment – how to teach difficult and advanced poses both safely and in relation to class themes. We will also discuss in this module how to adapt classes for the online space, a vital skill for modern yoga teachers. 

The meaning of Vinyasa Krama is:

​

Vi – order

Nyasa – Placement

Krama – the uninterrupted sequence of events from beginning to end

(definition by Sharon Gannon of Jivamukti Yoga)

Vinyasa Krama – The orderly placement of the sequence of events.

Placing ourselves in a specific order, step by step, in which each step is of importance. Each step is a progress of the previous step and progress towards the step to come.

This applies to our practice both on and off the mat.

In this training 

​

• We will look more closely into the Chakras system and what each represents and celebrates
• we will reflect on creating sequencing mindfully, intelligently, and holistically physically, energetically, and philosophically / spiritually.
• From Western Anatomy and physiology, we will consider the steps necessary for each Asana to support the next as we journey through a class.​​
• We will consider theme-ing and intelligent sequencing to support the theme of your choice. 
• We will inspire each other to move away from auto-pilot teaching and practicing, and to be of greater service to our students.
• We will look at advanced alignment – how to teach difficult and advanced poses both safely and in relation to class themes.
