Episode 146: TRANSITIONS: WHY THEY'RE JUST

AS IMPORTANT AS THE POSES

Are you a yoga teacher who sequences by choosing poses and arranging them in an order that feels varied and interesting? This is how many of us were taught. But that approach leaves transitions as an afterthought, which means students are solving movement problems in real time without a lot of preparation. This episode helps you understand the important role that transitions have (and that they deserve at least as much attention as the poses themselves), breaks down a real sequencing example through an anatomy lens, and gives you questions to use while you plan your next class.

• Transitions Are The Movements Without Names
• The Trap Creative Sequencing Creates
•  A Real Sequencing Example: Twisted Kneeling Lunge to Half Splits
• Questions to Consider When You're Sequencing
• How Your Sequencing Changes When You Include Anatomy

Now Available: Anatomy Refresh Mini Course

A self-paced mini course that helps you build real, usable understanding of the human body, so you can make alignment decisions and sequencing choices with confidence.
