  • Learn yoga class sequencing using the LADDER flow method. Included are tips for yoga pose transitions and an entire yoga class planning overview. I love empowering new yoga teachers with simple yoga sequencing and class planning methods. You can choose how creative or simple you'd like to make it. Sequencing using a ladder means you choose 4 to 6 poses and build one on top of the other. You keep repeat the sequence adding a pose each time, with a break or re-set flow (i.e. vinyasa) in between. In this example, I am basing my class with these 5 poses: Crescent Lunge, Warrior III, Warrior II, Side Angle, and Bird of Paradise.

    I'm always afraid that my students will get bored if I stick to the same base poses in the sequence even if it's intelligent sequencing, like your ladder flow system... but I guess you're right that even if you vary it up a little in between, the experience of being guided through it actually feels quite different than when you're teaching it. Thanks Ashley!

    I like how you broke this down. I am going to apply this to one of my sequences that I felt was missing something. I noticed in this ladder flow, there could be 10 or more vinyasa's in the Sun Salutations and in between asana's. Since I tend to begin fatigue around taking the 3rd Vinyasa, this makes me wonder how many vinyasa's are too many. When it comes to taking vinyasa, do you have a max amount when sequencing?

    • @AshleyHagen

I've found the video very very helpful. Just would like to ask, in a class, do we have to always teach pose#1 followed 1 vinyasa flow and then pose #1 + vinyasa flow etc. (You continue to add the 5-6 poses) or could you also offer the 5 poses all together + vinyasa and you just repeat the whole 'pack' 2 or 3 times. Or perhaps just start like 2 poses together + vinyasa and then you add 2 or 3 more poses (to make the 5) as the class progresses? Instead of adding 1 , then 1+ 2, 1+2+3 etc.

    • @AshleyHagen
      @AshleyHagen  Před rokem +2

      It depends on the poses I choose for the sequence. It might be something like "we are working up towards (post)." Or I wouldn't say there is a pose focus at all, and instead it's a theme or muscle group. It's usually done in a vinyasa class. I don't think you need to necessarily explain it to students. The teacher I went to that taught this style just simply taught. Not explanation of how it works and didn't call it anything except "yoga."

    THe point you make at 2:30 is opposite of Tai Chi as they aim to rotate the hips a lot in that practice. Any comment on that? though they have both feet on the ground as they transition. Am trying to see if the point you made is really of value (injury prevention).

    • @AshleyHagen
      @AshleyHagen  Před 3 lety +1

      This is not a tai chi practice. When flowing through the poses at a faster pace frequently, it can be a lot to constantly have to readjust. It makes it just not feel awkward and unstable. If you want to go back and forth, that’s up to you. You’ll also have to readjust the feet every time, too. If a pose is just one inhale long, it can simply be frustrating since the transitions involve so much more re-set. *Not medical advice.

      Have you attended a yoga teacher training? This should be discussed in depth in training. Giving permission to modify or opt-out and also providing variations for poses that you know someone might struggle with. Make sure you have everyone read and sign a waiver. Mention contraindications and "what tends to happen" and how to fix it. That's some of the basics.

      Awesome! Yes, it is different. It includes my ebook, but is not the same. The content is basically expanded and I provide a few more simple methods within the 10 set guide base.

    Hey Ashley! Love the enthusiasm you have teaching yoga. I consider myself a beginner yoga practitioner as it has been not more than 6 months since I started. I have something in mind for yoga teachers and would love to share it with you. It will be exciting to collaborate with you and create something. I follow you on Instagram too. Let me know if you are interested 🙂. Can't wait to hear from you. Cheers🙂🙂
