Continuing Education || The Art of Sequencing || Skillfully Sequencing toward Level 2-3 Apex Poses: Inversions, Twists/ Binds, & Backbends
Led by: Tara Glazier
From February 9, 2024 at 2:00 pm until February 11, 2024 at 4:00 pm at Dumbo
Schedule:
Feb 9th, Friday — 2-4pm, 5-9pm
Feb 10th, Saturday — 1-4:45pm
Feb 11th, Sunday — 9-11:15am, 12-4pm
Working toward more complex, advanced poses can be tricky within an open level class. The truth is students want to try new things and be successful at challenging poses but the class has to be sequenced well so that they feel successful. Learn skillful tools for sequencing that actually create greater ease instead of frustration. We break down primary complex poses from each category and see what needs to be strengthened and what needs to be opened.
We look at not only the postures, but the ACTIONS that aid in preparing the body. For instance, inversions do not only require strength of the arms and opening of the shoulders, but they require a deep sense of core, inner corset, and bandha awareness. How do we teach that? Backbends need not only the opening of the chest but lots of preparation into the legs, release of hips and opening of the quads. From there, we can work on the upper body. A kramatic, or successional approach is key when working with more intermediate postures.
So, how do we put it all together? Come to this sequencing Module to find out. Take your classes to the next level.
Learn:Skillful kramatic (successional) approach.
Repetition templates and sequences to build confidence.
What modifications are safe and appropriate to get the student close to the larger pose.
Using the Abhaya Method learn refinements such as anchoring, fulcrum, 3D breath, bandhas and more to help students fly and open.
