How to Sequence Power Yoga Poses
Create a sequenced power yoga workout by linking 3 poses to form a more fluid routine. You can choose any standing posture as your starting point. From the first pose, you should be able to move smoothly and fluidly into the next pose and so on into the third position. There are literally hundreds of poses that can be worked into a sequence. Use only 3 poses for each sequence. Try the following Power Yoga sequence to get you started.
