Sequencing yoga classes is both an art and a science. Like anything else, the more you do it, the better you get. There are some teachers that use a single sequence that they may vary just slightly, but I find this doesn't really work well for my style. As a creative, right-brain type, creating a sequence is like eating a delicious dessert. The more you taste it, the more you want to devour it! And students devour my sequences :-) Most importantly, this sequence needs to have a framework or purpose in mind or it's just choreography and aesthetics. The art part of sequencing is that logical flow of poses (with the framework and purpose in mind) and the science part of sequencing is ensuring that the poses and movements are compensating, for example, for spinal mechanics. Unless I have a vision, which I sometimes do...I generally start practicing either on the mat or the chair depending upon which class I'm sequencing for. I record the sequence on a piece of paper and then I move through the practice and make any additions, deletions, or substitutions. The class sequence is handwritten, yes you heard me, hand written in a notebook. And I teach from this document. I take each class before I teach it to ensure it flows and has all the elements that factor into my framework. And I might even make more changes or change it while I'm in the moment and teaching it. This relates to my two signature series classes. For my two other classes Yoga for Arthritis and Yoga for Nervous System Downregulation, those sequences are extremely specific to bring about a desired physiological and nervous system state, so I don't often change them unless it makes sense.
