This week has been…a little crazy. I have neglected posting class sequences! I’ve been having a few “vatta” moments, as one of my friends likes to call it 
, which has resulted in poor time management and feelings of being a bit ungrounded. Argh.
I would like to take a moment here to encourage you to comment on these posts or talk to me about how your practice is going (either in class or at home). Is there a pose you find yourself resisting? Does the breath elude you? How about your favorite pose(s) – is it/are they being included and explored in class? Are your hamstrings screaming so loudly that you can’t begin to find a place of balance somewhere? From the depths of my heart, I can personally answer “yes” to each of these questions!
Below is the Power Yoga class sequence from 4/10/08 (a modified level 2 practice). The sequencing in this class is credited to Elsie Escobar, an Anusara teacher in AZ who publishes “live and unplugged” classes via podcasts. I will be posting thumbnail pictures of poses in future sequences for your reference. Enjoy!
