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.
