Yoga Posture Sequences

Yoga posture sequences are a series of postures arranged to flow together one after the next. This is often called vinyasa or a yoga flow. Start with the Basic sequences and gradually proceed to beginning and advanced sequences. Seated and standing sequences can be combined for a longer practice. Read the entire sequence first before practicing. Click on the posture picture or name to read the detailed instructions about the posture’s alignment, contraindications and modifications. If you are unfamiliar with any postures, practice these first until you are comfortable with their alignment.

Warm-up Sequences ( 4 items ) Use these sequences of simple stretches to warm up prior to any of the pose sequences. Basic Sequences ( 5 items ) Where to start if you are new or a beginner. These posture flows are simple, short and only contain basic postures. Beginning Sequences ( 8 items ) Where to start if you have some previous experience with yoga. Build on the basic pose sequences by adding more length and challenge to the flow. For more beginning level sequences, check out the Sun Salutations and the Special Sequences sections. Intermediate Sequences ( 6 items ) By adding challenging postures to the beginning sequences, these posture flows are the most complex, vigorous and long. For more intermediate level sequences, check out the Sun Salutations and the Special Sequences sections. Sun Salutations ( 6 items ) Often considered the core of hatha yoga practice, Sun Salutations are traditionally practiced at sunrise to warm and energize the body. We have several Sun Salutation sequences available with varying levels of difficulty, from basic to intermediate. Special Sequences ( 24 items ) Looking for something different? These sequences are designed for specific applications, using combinations of yoga postures for their effects on the physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies.

Yogic Wisdom
There are three classes of devotees. The lowest one says, "God is up there," and he points to heaven. The mediocre devotee says that God dwells in the heart as the "Inner Controller." But the highest devotee says: "God alone has become everything. All things that we perceive are so many forms of God." Sri Ramakrishna

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
