Pose Sequences

Published on June 11, 2007

Yoga posture sequences are a series of postures arranged to flow together one after the next. This is often called vinyasa or a yoga flow.

Start with the Basic sequences and gradually proceed to beginning and advanced sequences.

Seated and standing sequences can be combined for a longer practice.

Read the entire sequence first before practicing. Click on the posture picture or name to read the detailed instructions about the posture’s alignment, contraindications and modifications.
If you are unfamiliar with any postures, practice these first until you are comfortable with their alignment.

Use the vinyasa info on the individual posture pages to modify or expand sequences.

Remember to breathe deeply through the nose and focus the mind on the body and breath. Take each pose to your edge and relax deeper into the pose rather than pushing into it.
