Yoga Meets Movement Science What’s the Best Way to Sequence a Yoga Class?
This episode might change the way you think about yoga sequencing!
In this episode, yoga teacher Jenni Rawlings and Exercise Science professor Travis Pollen have a thorough, nuanced discussion about yoga sequencing. Using a movement science lens, they cover what yoga sequencing is, why it matters, some common approaches to sequencing, and they include a special focus on “peak pose sequencing” – arguably the most popular style of sequencing out there!
Jenni and Travis cover some of the advantages of peak pose sequencing as well as some very surprising disadvantages of this sequencing style that seem to be largely overlooked in the yoga world.
Enjoy this engaging and eye-opening discussion for yoga, movement, and fitness geeks!
