SamKrama: The Art of Sequencing
“The person for whom small things do not exist, the great is not great.”
~ José Ortega y Gasset
Sama: even, balanced.
Krama: to progress, step by step.
Creating a meaningful and intelligent Yoga sequence is an art, and a skill – one that can be learned and honed into a fun and deeply satisfying art for you and your students. A good sequence, like all worthy endeavors, has a clear arc that begins with an inspiring inquiry and takes each practitioner into her own depths, then mindfully brings each student back to center, to calm and deep rest.
Program Overview
The heart of this 30-hour intensive is in the strong morning Asana practice. Each daily practice will feature one Movement Principle and highlight an essential aspect of the arc of sequencing; afternoons will be spent mapping the sequence, generating alternate “itineraries” and modifications, and illuminating each of the elements that great sequences all share.
What You'll Explore
• Strong Morning Sadhana
• Sequence Mapping
• Generating creative and intelligent sequences
• Drives and themes that are authentic to you
• Balancing the effort and the return: inspire your students without hooking their egos
• Including the return to center: rest is an essential element!
• Creating self-practices that will continue to inspire you as practitioner and teacher
