At its core is a methodology that goes beyond simply putting postures together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with your purpose as a yoga teacher and the structure of a yoga class (the sequencing arc). We then build upon that foundation to explore the principles and nuances of intelligent sequencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you move through the book, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of poses, their variations, and the fundamental alignment principles within each section of the arc. Additionally, you will learn how strategic posture selection, thoughtful preparation, and skillful sequencing work together to prepare the body for what lies ahead; create continuity throughout the practice; cultivate a fluid, meditative experience; fulfill the intention of each practice; and help students leave class feeling balanced, grounded, and better in their mind and body. Finally, you’ll apply these principles to create well-rounded classes and classes built around a peak pose or a physical theme. You’ll also learn how to adapt these classes for different yoga styles, experience levels, mobility needs, and the unique students in your classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis text will help you do the following:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify your purpose as a yoga teacher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop practices with a clear intention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnow each section of the sequencing arc, from the opening and warm-up through the closing of the session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the importance of pose selection, preparation, progressions, transitions, and sequencing principles within each section of the sequencing arc and throughout the class as a whole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapt sequences for different yoga styles, experience levels, mobility needs, and specific student populations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice 14 complete class sequences, each including guidance for increasing or decreasing their intensity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the full-color photographs, color-coded page edges, worksheets, and sequencing calendars for easy reference and intentional class planning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpand your learning experience with companion videos featuring tutorials, short practices, and complete class sequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re new to sequencing, have been teaching for more than 10 years, or are ready to elevate your teacher training curriculum with a comprehensive sequencing resource, you’ll transform the way you think about sequencing and will refine the way you create and teach your classes.

Since 2013, she has educated yoga teachers and teacher trainees nationally and internationally in sequencing methodology and refined posture alignment. Inspired in part by her own experience in navigating yoga-related injuries, her work over the past decade has increasingly emphasized helping teachers create classes that promote longevity without sacrificing the integrity of each posture; the creativity, fluidity, and intensity of the class sequence; or the overall student experience. She currently leads 200- and 300-hour teacher trainings. She also is a guest teacher in teacher training programs and offers immersions and workshops—all focused on sequencing, alignment, and hands-on adjustments. Beyond teaching, Burkhart mentors yoga teachers in building successful teaching careers aligned with their purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--end tabAuthor--\u003e","brand":"Laura Burkhart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67761830756426,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1281\/4359\/files\/9781718224735.jpg?v=1792566483","url":"https:\/\/us.humankinetics.com\/products\/yoga-sequencing-with-purpose","provider":"Human Kinetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
