Yoga Sequencing: Designing Transformative Yoga Classes Kindle Edition

I m writing this review after reading it for 2 month. I suggest for the beginners that do not buy this one because at many places it is misleading speacially in Pranayama section. It's better to prefer bihar school of yoga which gives the exact practices what you should do. Here in this they have used all the names but when it comes on a practical thing they just focus on Ujjai, and ujjai as well they have not mentioned correctly. So please prefer the traditional books first Like hatha pradipika, gheranda samhita, hatha ratnavali, Shiva samira, yoga rahasya, Aisha sidhhant paddhati, etc.

Very good book,a must in my option to have if you practice seriously or are you thinking to teach yoga..seller is also hight reccomanded,fast delivery,thanks

Beautiful book. An absolute treasure

Amazing book.. specially for new yoga teachers.

Good as I wanted different sequences to incorporate into my yoga routine....requires a basic knowledge of yoga though

GOOD BOOK

nice book, with guidance for the yoga teachers and also guiding the students..

Nice workouts mentioned.

...great for practitioners with a self/home practice and teachers who are a little newer as it offers ideas for how to sequence not only that but cueing techniques that are succinct and easy to follow. There is an assumption that the reader has an understanding of Sankrit so much so that there are dosha balancing sequences! Personally I found it interesting because I know what my dosha is and I have a keen interest in Ayurveda being a teacher. Having said that, the book is well illustrated so even if the language didn't translate; it becomes apparent in the visual and cuing instructions - I would recommend this book to people who already have a yoga practice or a new teacher who is building creative class plans. I found it really useful in my first few years of teaching and dip in and out of it every now and again...it's not the kind of book you want to carry about - its quite heavy. so definitely one for the sofa...

Wow, what a fantastic resource for the recently graduated yoga teacher, or those who are experienced but looking to refresh and get some new ideas.Pro's: It's extensive, in-depth, organised coherently, and written with teachers in mindCon's: Because of the wealth of information, it's not a book you can quickly dip into.This book is far larger and thicker than I anticipated, there is a wealth of information here for the serious student. I initially was unsure about spending this amount on a book, but there is so much to be gained from it, it's worth every penny.I very much enjoyed the no nonsense writing style, informative and backed up with credible anatomical information. Whilst touching upon all limbs of yoga, the focus is very much on the 3rd limb, the Asanas. I would recommend this book to those who have some understanding of yoga already, particularly those who have graduated or are in the process of completing a teacher training programme. There is an assumption you already have an awareness of Sanskrit and yoga in general, though there are very clear and helpful diagrams throughout.The book is divided into sections addressing all the different classes you might encounter. Beginners, Intermediate, advanced, children, elders, pregnancy and more.In all honesty, I expected a book I could dip into, and find a quick lesson plan in an emergency. This isn't that, and it's too weighty and extensive for that. It requires a thorough read, and then a re-read to cherry pick the useful parts, and adapt to what you feel comfortable teaching. Which isn't a bad thing, you are certainly getting your money's worth. However, if you are serious about investing in your practice, this is the book to go for.I've been to too many yoga classes that have been haphazardly designed, with no thought to why we are doing a particular posture, in a particular order. I hope this book, and it's rightful inclusion as expected reading on many YTT programmes will go some way to remedy that.

This is an amazing resource on my teacher training. It is a massive book, much thicker than I was expecting and is going to take a while to throughly read through- which I expect I will need to to gain the most from it.It’s not a quick here’s a lesson plan type of book however I think once I have read through it and marked up the sections it will become one of my go too books for reference.I already had Mark Stephens ‘Teaching Yoga’ which is also marvellous and as with that book this one assumes you have some Sanskrit knowledge. It’s not a problem though if you haven’t learnt all the terminology yet though, I simply went through with a pencil and wrote in the English names. I can erase them as I learn the Sanskrit.In short, it’s a weighty volume full of great knowledge and advice. Highly recommend.

Great examples of yoga classes, excellent background on how to desing a class. It has provided me with very usefull information for providing even better classes to my students. The instructions are clear and well descibed. To me this is a teachers resource. You could use it for your own practice, but then there are better suited books or videos.If your a yoga teacher I strongly recommend this.

A brilliant guide to sequencing! As a training yoga teacher and with mostly practicing at home since starting, I’ve really found this to be a critical aid in helping me to pull all of the asanas together and understanding sequencing and the theory behind it. Coupled with the Mark Stephens cards, I feel very equipped and they are also both helping with learning the Sanskrit names too - its like it’s all coming together. Thanks Mark Stephens!
