How do I properly set up a yoga sequence?
assistant
Start by gathering the necessary materials, including a yoga mat, a strap, and possibly blocks. Next, find a quiet, comfortable place where you can practice, and be sure to wear comfortable clothing. Begin by taking some deep breaths and connecting to your body. Consider how you are feeling and any areas of tightness or tension that may need extra love and attention. Focus on allowing your breath to be long, slow, and steady, allowing all tension to be released. Then slowly start with some simple stretching and warm-up poses like Cat and Cow, stretches, and gentle forward folds. When you feel ready, begin transitioning through a sequence customized to your needs, focusing on poses that target major muscle groups while also engaging the core and breath. Remember to listen to your body, take it slow, and try not to overexert yourself. Take time to rest and reset in between poses and close the practice with some restorative poses such as child’s pose and savasana.
