Yoga Sequencing addresses fundamental questions that yoga teachers face in
designing classes. While making clear that the ultimate source of guidance comes from one’s own yoga experience, Stephens untangles the inter-relations of yoga postures and provides insightful mapping principles for linking them into effective classes. This unique, practical book empowers yoga teachers to be their best in working with a diverse array of students.
