![]() ![]() When I teach the butterfly, I also let the students release right into it. ![]() The caterpillar is for those who can't or shouldn't do the snail. Definitely though, the snail (which is the intended pose in my above flow) is deeper than the butterfly so I warmed up to it first. It is nice sometimes to do a bit of movement between the poses, to get the juices flowing again, but often I will start with several forward bend postures: butterfly, then straddle with folds over each leg and then down the middle. Unlike the yang styles, it is not necessary to do a counter pose right after each asana. I'd be curious on what you thought of this.Īnyway, thanks for getting the sequence chain rolling!įirst, I see no problem doing a couple of forward bends in a row to start a class. End with Happy Baby, knees to Chest and Savasana Half-Butterfly with Left leg Straight, 5 min.ġ1. Roll up to sitting and take Square Pose with Right leg on top, 5 min.ħ. release twist and enter Eye of Needle with Right foot on Left knee, 5 min.Ħ. roll to right side to release left leg and come into Lying Twist with Right Leg straight coming out over to the left, holding Right foot with left hand, 5 min.ĥ. here's an odd sequence I came up with that is in the Sarah Powers vein of doing lots of one-sided poses before repeating on the second side.Ģ. I feel like planning a sequence is similar to planning a strategy in chess, and opening with a pose like Snail is always a bold move! I love it, but have received resistance from students who seem to prefer the Caterpillar option.Īnyway.
