The order of poses is intentionally designed to target specific body parts or to elicit certain effects (e.g., relaxation, invigoration). It aims to smooth energy flow and progressively prepare the mind and body.
Designed as the structure of a Yoga class or as a practice program for a specific purpose. Classical sequences, such as Sun Salutations (Sūrya Namaskāra), also exist. Instructors explain the flow and intention of the sequence, guiding students to practice safely and effectively.
Convey that "a sequence is not merely a string of poses, but a narrative that speaks to the body and mind," encouraging students to feel the flow. Guide on safe and effective sequence building, and the importance of adapting to individual student needs.
