However, as my practice evolved over the years, I felt drawn to branch out and explore other expressions & combinations of postures. It formed the foundation of what I think a good, well-rounded yoga practice should look like. In fact, my other go-to gentle flow yoga sequence is based on the primary series. They include the primary, intermediate, and advanced series.
YOGA UNDRESSED THE BEGINNER PRACTICE SERIES
Ashtanga teaches several series of posture flows, based on your mastery level, which are the same every time you practice. This is a vinyasa style of yoga, which means the postures transition in a flowing manner that’s synchronized with the breath. When I started doing yoga, I initially learned the Ashtanga style, specifically the primary series.
To keep things fresh, I just swap a few postures here and there when it feels right, or when I know certain parts of my body need a little more attention. In fact, it’s so ideal, it’s one of two main flows I build my entire practice around. This gentle flow yoga sequence does all of these things, and that’s why I love it so much.
But it’s truly how I feel! For me, a good yoga sequence needs to check several important boxes: What I’m sharing with you today is my all-time favorite, absolute BEST gentle flow yoga sequence ever. (I’ll tell you why in a minute.) And over the years, I’ve discovered some key components I need from a yoga session in order for it to feel complete. While I enjoy mixing things up with different styles of yoga from time to time, I long ago settled on vinyasa (flow) yoga as my practice of choice. I’ve been to a lot of classes, experienced many of the various yoga types, and tried a whole lot of posture sequences. I’ve been practicing yoga for almost 25 years.
