In this course you will develop the art of creative and meaningful sequencing to create purposeful and powerful practices for students and for yourself.

Students will have a significantly more powerful experience on the mat when they are properly warmed physically, but also have the ability to experience a deeper purpose for their practice from a spiritual and philosophical perspective, when offered in an appropriate way that will give them something to take away and apply to their life off the mat.
