This episode is especially relevant for yoga teachers who want to build confidence, longevity, and depth in their classes.
Episode Highlights:

- The role of structure, progression, intention, and integration in class planning
- Why sequencing shapes the energetic and pranic arc of a class
- How intelligent sequencing builds trust, confidence, and professional credibility
The 9 Sequencing Mistakes to Avoid:
- Treating sequencing as simply linking poses together
- Over-focusing on peak poses at the expense of purpose
- Skipping joint preparation and intelligent warm-ups
- Overloading classes with too many poses
- Neglecting counter-poses and proper class closure
- Designing sequences based on personal preference instead of student needs
