Can you provide an example of a sequence or flow that you often incorporate into your yoga classes?

Sure, Below is an example of a beginner-friendly yoga sequence that I often incorporate into my classes. This sequence focuses on building strength, flexibility, and mindfulness:

Beginner Yoga Sequence:

• Mountain Pose (Tadasana): Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, grounding through the feet and reaching the arms overhead.
• Forward Fold (Uttanasana): From Mountain Pose, hinge at the hips and fold forward, letting the head and arms hang down towards the ground.
• Plank Pose: Step or jump back to a high plank position, with shoulders stacked over wrists and core engaged.
• Chaturanga Dandasana: Lower down halfway, keeping elbows close to the body, and hover for a moment before moving into Upward Facing Dog.
• Upward Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana): Press into the hands and lift the chest up, keeping the legs engaged and tops of the feet pressing into the mat.
• Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): Lift the hips up and back, creating an inverted V shape with the body, pressing heels towards the ground.
• Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I): Step the right foot between the hands, ground the back foot at a 45-degree angle, and reach the arms overhead, gazing up towards the hands.
• Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II): Open the hips and arms to the side, keeping the front knee bent at a 90-degree angle, gaze over the front fingers.
• Triangle Pose (Trikonasana): Straighten the front leg and reach the right arm down towards the right shin, extending the left arm up towards the sky.

This sequence can be repeated on both sides and can be adapted to suit the needs and levels of the students in the class. It offers a balanced combination of strength-building poses, flexibility-enhancing stretches, and opportunities for mindfulness through breath awareness and focused movement.
