Please answer any one of the following in the Forum:
- Describe general categories of class objectives.
- Name aspects of an asana that are utilized in effective sequencing.
- Describe a basic principle of sequencing related to complexity of poses and describe how to guide students’ attention in a way that is consistent with this sequencing principle.
- Explain the Desikachar approach to sequencing dynamic and static poses.
- Describe priorities when moving through the arc of a class.
