What about sequencing hatha yoga sessions for intermediates and advanced yogis?
Which poses are most beneficial for which conditions? How many poses should a yoga teacher incorporate into a session for beginners? Which poses should be included? That is just one reason why yoga classes should be sequenced.Īnother excellent reason to carefully select your poses is that hatha yoga touches on so many aspects of the self, there are seemingly endless combinations of poses to derive a wide array of benefits – from digestive help to relieving arthritis. More advanced yoga devotees have the buy-in and experience needed to permit their yoga instructor to step things up a little to move on to more elaborate poses – poses that beginners would not be able to do. Focusing on the breath is a little-understood concept at that point and there may not even be a mind-body connection.
Types of yoga sequences how to#
In beginner yoga classes, much of the new students’ focus is on their teacher: how to move just so, where to put one’s hand and so on. The easiest example to think of would be a beginners yoga class versus an advanced yoga session: if you’re just starting practising yoga, you need to understand how to ‘move from your core’ before graduating to more demanding poses. That doesn’t mean that every hatha workout must be forceful with the wealth of poses to choose from, you could design a workout for virtually any purpose. Hatha fundamentally refers to yoga postures, meaning that your favourite type of yoga – be it Ashtanga, Iyengar, vinyasa and power yogas are all hatha.īy definition, hatha yoga is meant to be physical the word hatha itself means ‘force’, ‘effort’ or ‘willfulness’. Or, sequencing can target specific areas of the body (shoulders, core muscles or back) or particular types of poses (twisting postures, forward folds or backbends).įor proper sequencing, the yoga instructor must understand the poses, how the poses build on one another, what muscle groups are involved, what the purpose and benefits of the poses are, and what is appropriate for each yogi based on their level of skill and specific needs.As though you didn’t already know it, hatha yoga is a very popular, very common form of yoga in the western hemisphere. For example, sequencing can focus on poses that address certain conditions, such as headaches, menstrual discomfort or depression. Sequences can also have more specific goals. Poses are usually performed once in a sequence, but an alternate way of sequencing might have the yogi perform each posture more than once but focus on a different aspect of the pose each time. Many modern yoga practices are linear, meaning that they begin with basic poses that build on one another in a seamless manner and also build in difficulty before transitioning to cooling postures and relaxation.
