Summary

Sequencing doesn’t start with themes or peak poses, it starts with understanding the pose itself. In this episode, I introduce pose literacy and explain why it’s the missing link behind clearer, safer, and more intelligent sequencing. Using Downward-Facing Dog as a real example, I break down how learning to read a pose beyond alignment can completely change how you teach, sequence, and support your students. Episode Highlights: Why modern sequencing often skips the most essential stepWhat po...

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to another episode of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. I'll be the first to admit that I've been a little behind on bringing you new weekly podcast episodes. And that's because I've been so completely heads down in building what I believe is truly an epic 300 hour online training program. I think this might be the last
0:22.8	episode that drops before the 300-hour goes live and I genuinely cannot wait for you to get in there
0:29.8	and to get started. I personally have waited a long time to bring this into the online yoga world.
0:36.7	It's been crafted very intentionally for
0:39.1	yoga professionals who want more than just hours, sequence lists and training certificates.
0:45.2	This is built for teachers who want to be seen, heard and supported in an online scene of
0:50.6	courses and trainings. And I personally believe that when done well, there is tremendous connection, learning and depth that can happen inside some Zoom rooms.
1:01.2	When we moved to the online training world in 2020, I was a skeptic.
1:07.1	I was not an early adopter of teaching yoga online. In fact, I came from the camp that
1:13.1	believed you had to learn yoga in person. And that part process slowly evolved as I ended up going
1:20.3	to online trainings to see what was happening in them, to see if they were legitimate and how to
1:27.2	improve on that system.
1:28.9	And I'm so glad that I did.
1:30.7	I will be sharing all the details of the course at the end of this episode.
1:35.5	In case you've been feeling that call to study, you're one of those people who is going to wait till the last moment.
1:42.6	Or you are ready to take that leap of faith and say yes to your next level of yoga education, teaching, clarity and confidence.
1:50.5	Then you've got literally a day or so left to do that.
1:54.6	On the show today, I want to bring up something I was noticing yesterday when I was writing some content.
2:00.7	And it's the single biggest misstep, believe the yoga world has made when it comes to
2:06.6	sequencing.
2:07.6	And I know that sounds like a dramatic opening line, but it's true.
2:11.7	It dawned on me yesterday that we've completely done this upside down.
