Structures for Shakti: Peak Pose Sequencing Strategies – Christina Sell Intensive Focus
There are many ways to sequence asana classes in Anusara yoga. We can use a general template strategy or a heart-based theme, an alignment principle, a philosophical perspective, a category of postures, a body part, or a functional movement. We can design our classes with a therapeutic application in mind or with a specific posture as the “peak” or “pinnacle” posture, all to good effect. Truly, the work of creative sequencing is endless!
Designed with the experienced teacher in mind, this intensive builds on the foundational sequencing knowledge of a general template approach to help teachers refine their understanding of how to build toward peak poses effectively, efficiently, and progressively.
Teachers will learn techniques to re-enliven the approaches they are already using, committed practitioners will learn to see the structures behind the classes they enjoy and will learn tools to design their own practice sessions and teacher trainers will get ideas for how to present this fundamental skill to their trainees.

Sequencing Strategies Intensive Includes
• Overview of fundamental joint actions and the basis for movement
• Leveraging repetition of shape and action throughout your sequence
• The art of deconstructing and reconstructing postures to increase clarity and performance
• Using props to educate, support and deepen
• Refining verbal cues to bring your sequence to life
