Understanding a sequence of events quells one’s implicit desire to organize and orient, track progress and predict patterns. By exploring the intellectual, metaphorical, and narrative aspects of a practice through the lens of a sequence of events, we are asked to pique our imagination and engage with a more universal way of embodiment. This keeps our yoga practice about our lives and demands we stay attuned to the world around us, which is much more interesting and long lasting than performing fancy poses.
When sequencing a Katonah Yoga practice, we aim to reference material outside ourselves - great nature rather than personal nature, archetypal shapes instead of personal ones, maps and universal routes rather than feelings and familiarities. Yoga poses themselves are just one facet of how we move from one place to the next, but by virtue of folding and unfolding through joint space, our practice has the loopty loop swirl of script, instead of the jarring jot of letters.
Join us for a series of sequencing seminars where we will explore what underpins the questions that surround sequencing yoga classes by examining what we are really seeking through sequence. Order? Pattern? Safety? Or the answer to our existential dread of what comes next? Crafting a potent sequence is less about the doing of a pose and more about organizing and articulating oneself in a pose. We will break down specific sequences found in Katonah classes and discover new and creative ways to animate our human experiences through yoga practice.
In this seminar series, we will explore sequencing through:
SEASONS - how each gives birth to the next
ELEMENTS - how each promotes the radiance of the others
JOINTS - how folding and unfolding leads one pose in to the next
NARRATIVE THREAD - a beginning, middle, climax and tying together
THE PRINCIPLE OF RESONANCE - how health and joy are hopeful endeavors through pattern
