Welcome to Sequencing Lab 301! By now, you have successfully created your own LYT flow at the Beginner, Advanced Beginner, or Level 1 level. You should feel relatively comfortable with how the process works at the most basic level and what it takes to properly sequence asanas together with a plan and an intention set at the start. In this third and final portion of the Sequencing Lab Series, you will learn how to create and teach Level 2 and Level 3 flows and finally, how to teach and incorporate more advanced poses in these higher level classes. You will follow the same methodology as Sequencing Labs 101 & 201, but learn to broaden your horizons to the more advanced level yoga population.
At Lara’s original home studio in Princeton, she originally had 3 just types of classes that straddled the line between levels. Smooth was Level 1-2 (no plyometric and handstand optional), Move was Level 2-3 (plyometrics and handstands offered more regularly), and Groove was Level 3 (plyometrics, more time on the hands, and the teacher took the class along with the students, as opposed to walking around the room strictly teaching). For the purposes of our Sequencing Lab Modules, I created the Level 1 to be a Basic Smooth. Level 2 will straddle the line between a Smooth and Move. Level 3 will be Groove. At the end, you will be able to:
- Create a Level 2 level flow for the Intermediate LYT population, who are ready for the addition of optional handstands and plyometrics in their practice.
- Create a Level 3 level flow for the Advanced LYT population, who are ready to practice independent of adjustments and alongside the teacher.
- Learn how to change a flow just slightly to adjust the theme or level.
- Learn how to do and teach a variety of advanced arm and leg balance poses that can be added to your Level 2 and 3 flows at your own discretion at this higher level of practice.
- You will receive three new LYT flows that you will have a thorough understanding of and be able to add to your LYT repertoire.
- Questions will be answered via the monthly Teacher Community zoom.
