The Book of Vinyasa Flows, Volume 1, is for new yoga teachers and yoga teachers who want to spice up their Vinyasa class offerings. Also, this is an excellent book for yoga home practitioners who wish to bring more variety into their home practice.
Thoughtful, intelligently constructed, creative flows have been developed, taught, and refined with student feedback. You will find Sun A variations and ten curated multi-flow sequences to inspire yoga teachers' and yoga students' practices. Each series is presented in three ways:
Written instructions with alignment cues and recommendations when necessary for different levels of students or practitioners.
Pictures of each posture that coordinate with the written instructions.
A video of each sequence.
Each flow sequence is created to open the body for either a whole body class or an emphasis on a specific body part and, in some cases, to prepare for a peak pose. The flow sections of each class build on one another and can be used for slow Vinyasa practices and power Vinyasa practices, where the classes can flow with breath-connected movement.
Marda has taught Slow Flow and Power classes for the last sixteen years and knows that creating transformational classes takes time and practice. This book aims to inspire teachers when they are creating their weekly lessons and for students of yoga who want to make more variety in their home practice.
Marda aims to provide inspiration and ideas to the creative class development process. The sequences are not meant to be followed exactly as written; instead, they are meant for teachers and students to practice, see what resonates, and change the things that do not. Be playful and move in ways that feel good in your body. Find new ways to cue and new transitions that you can incorporate into your teaching and practice.
